A new AVGAS fuel facility has been installed at the Ayr Aerodrome and is now available for 24/7 use.
Burdekin Shire Council Mayor Lyn McLaughlin said that the Council was committed to supporting the airport facility and ensuring its commercial viability.
“We are delighted to have secured this new fuel installation for users of the Ayr Aerodrome, which will benefit the local aviation community and fly-in visitors,” Ms McLaughlin said.
Council was notified in August this year that the former supplier was removing their services from the Ayr Aerodrome.
Ms McLaughlin said Council immediately launched a tender process to find a new provider to ensure minimal downtime.
Woodham Petroleum Services was selected as the successful tender and completed the installation in November 2023.
The new facility, supplied and serviced by Woodham Petroleum Services, will accept Visa/Mastercard, Eftpos and Woodham Petroleum network E Tags for account holders.
An E-Tag is available for use in the Club aircraft VH RTY.
For account/E-Tag inquiries, please contact Woodham Petroleum Services on 02/68281356 or State Operations Manager on 0499 281 356.
