Padma Oil Company is one of the largest Jet Fuel A1 suppliers in Bangladesh. The Padma Oil Company supplies the Shah Amanat International Airport (SAIA) as well as the Bangladesh Air Force Base (BAF) with Jet Fuel via road tankers. By making use of road tanker to transport the fuel, Padma, MI, SAIA and BAF operations are highly sensitive to traffic congestion, political strikes, vehicle breakdown and theft.
