Bulk Fuel Tank
Over the past few years, fuel shortage has brought ongoing drama to the country of Papua New Guinea — and the threat of disruption of flight service to church planting teams in remote locations. At one point in early 2024, Ethnos360 Aviation paid a substantial price to order 80 barrels of Jet-A (fuel for turbine engines) from New Zealand to stave off the inevitable prospect of “no fuel, no flights.” More recently, they have been ordering 80 drums at a time from Australia, but it costs 30% more than local fuel, and it takes weeks to arrive. Maintaining a sea of drums is no way to continue operating. Over the last decade, the aviation program has customarily bought fuel from another agency who has a bulk tank, but that’s no longer available.
To continue to faithfully serve the 43 active church planting locations, some relying solely on aviation – and to serve national church leaders as they strengthen existing groups of believers – the Ethnos360 Aviation flight program requires a dependable flow of Jet-A.
