Guangzhou, China | 10–12 November 2026

Alkagesta participated in the IATA Aviation Energy Forum 2026 in Guangzhou, with Agshin Bakirzade, Commodity Trading Director, APAC, Alex Yusifli, Business Development Manager, and Bayram Bayramli, China Business Developer, representing the company.

The program focused on the practical questions facing airlines and their suppliers as international networks expand and sustainable aviation fuel moves from pilot volumes toward commercial scale.

Topics covered included:

  • Jet fuel procurement and how airlines and suppliers can work together to secure reliable supply across international routes
  • Fuel quality and operational reliability, including quality assurance and coordination across the supply chain from terminal to aircraft
  • Sustainable aviation fuel and how availability, cost and policy will shape the pace of adoption
  • Regional supply dynamics in the Asia-Pacific market

Alongside the program, conversations with carriers in Guangzhou highlighted where the Alkagesta supply network could support their operations, building on the entry of the company into jet fuel trading in 2026 through access to the NATO Central European Pipeline System and the ISCC CORSIA certification that enables the trading and supply of CORSIA-eligible sustainable aviation fuel.
