Ron Finger, Managing Director of Global Airways stated, "We will be relying heavily on the staff of Fuelstream for these services but the most important service is sourcing the jet fuel that we will require, which is approximately 1,800,000 gallons a month. Without the fuel there would be no service."Robert Catala, CEO of Fuelstream stated "We have developed a relationship in South Africa with The Global Aviation Group and are pleased that this relationship will continue to grow. We are very excited about this new opportunity for providing the jet fuel and services that Global Airways requires for their new service."
