Sunoco LP, the largest independent fuel distributor in the United States, has joined the Latin American and Caribbean Air Transport Association (ALTA) as its newest member.

With a legacy spanning over a century, Sunoco LP was founded in Philadelphia and has become a renowned name in the fuel industry. Its extensive distribution network, supported by more than 113 terminals, ensures consistent supply and high-quality fuel standards. The company’s aviation fuel portfolio includes Jet A-1 and Colonial Grade 54, both produced in compliance with stringent international regulations, including ASTM D1655 specifications and AFQRJOS requirements.

Their track record of excellence and capacity for innovation in fuel supply will strengthen our mission to promote more efficient aviation. We are excited to work together to boost air connectivity and the impact of aviation on our economies and communities,” said José Ricardo Botelho, CEO of ALTA, the company that was named by Forbes as one of the best employers in the US.

Sunoco LP leverages its expertise in advanced logistics solutions, utilizing mid-range tankers, barges, and RoRo isotank containers to guarantee a secure and dependable fuel supply. Its dedication to quality underscores the importance of strategic partnerships in a region where infrastructure and energy development remain critical challenges.

“At ALTA, we value collaboration with companies that share our vision of an aviation industry committed to the needs of the region. Sunoco LP brings not only its technical expertise, but also an innovative approach that will be key to meeting the energy challenges of the future,” Botelho added.
