Saturday morning in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania is no time or place for fueling issues.
You can't leave the ground without fuel. And you can't fuel without a release.
Saturday morning in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania is no time or place for fueling issues. One pilot found himself nearing departure time without the proper fuel-release paperwork. He hadn't set up fuel through us, and the local supplier's office was closed, leaving the pilot unable to request a last-minute release. Worse, passengers were arriving and, short of having cash on board to pay for the uplift, he was out of luck – until the fuel vendor wondered aloud if the captain had "the black card." He did. Even in remote locales with no official credit card processing capabilities, the UVair® Fueling Card is instantly recognized. The vendor began fueling while the captain’s handler contacted us. We authorized the uplift, and the flight took off on time and as planned to the UK.
