Puma Energy is buying BP’s aviation business in Puerto Rico.  Puma will take over the operation of the site at the Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport in San Juan, which serves over 4 million passengers a year.

 

The acquisition will complement Puma Energy’s existing aviation business. The acquired Puerto Rico business supplies JET A, as per international quality standard. Puerto Rico is the regional hub for the group’s Americas business, and home to a network of 350 retail sites and 175 employees. The refurbished Puma Energy Bayamon Storage terminal now has a capacity of 517,000 cbm. Subject to regulatory and other approvals, Puma Energy hopes to complete the sale by the middle of 2015.

 

The company already serves more than 45 airports around the world with airport and into-plane operations, which conform to Joint Inspection Group (JIG) and International Air Transport Association (IATA) standards. Puma is also a fuel group strategic partner of IATA.
