Update July 9th: Following last week’s issues with a break in the fuel pipeline coming into the airport, local handlers are now saying there are no more issues with fuel supply and availability. However, some third-party fuel providers are warning they still cannot arrange fuel for BA/GA operators, and are advising them to tanker inbound. Do you know different? Let us know!
July 5th: Due a break in the pipeline into the airport, for most operators there is no fuel available at LFMN/Nice.
Check with your handler before operating if your uplift at Nice is essential, as many are now advising all ad-hoc operators to tanker-in.
Information is still coming in, but it appears this may affect operations for a few days. No word of other airports affected, and nothing has been published in the Notams yet.
