Aviation Fuel

DGCI can provide a wide range of high-quality military and commercial grade fuels. These include JP8/F34, TS1, JP5/F44, F76, DF2/F54, AVGAS/F18, Jet A1/F35, Jet A, and JP4/F40. We also have a deploy-able fuel additive injection capability to ensure client specifications can be met wherever and whenever needed.

Contingency Operations

One of DGCI’s greatest strengths is our ability to rapidly mobilize contingency support staff with little notification to meet challenging client requirements. We are able to provide this level of service to our military forces because of our long experience with such operations; the background and motivation of our staff; and detailed operational plans and processes that minimize and mitigate risk.

Global Fuel Logistics Teams

DGCI has fuels expertise where you need it. We can also quickly and efficiently re-position our assets as your mission requirements dictate. Additionally, our senior-level planners are able to create strategic level fuel management plans that span multiple continents. They are equally skilled at building out tactical fuel distribution plans. Currently, DGCI has fuel operators serving in the Middle East, Central Asia, the Horn of Africa, and the Americas. Finally, our Level A fuel testing laboratory in Afghanistan provides support to the entire region.

Aviation Turbine Fuel Additives

DGCI converts high-grade commercial fuel(JetA1)to military grade(JP8)by injecting three key additives. These additives are Corrosion Inhibitor/Lubricity Improver, Static Dissipater(SDA), and Fuel Systems Icing Inhibitor(FSII). This injection process is conducted with specialized machinery that is owned and operated by DGCI.

24/7/365 Support

DGCI support personnel are available when your mission must launch – because being on-time and on-target is not a negotiable. That’s why DGCI professionals are prepared to respond to your mission requirements every day of the year – and every hour of the day and night. Our success depends on your success.

Strategic Affiliations

DGCI recognizes the importance of building strong strategic alliances with organization who possess capabilities that are complementary to ours. This is why we spend significant resources building our network; in this way, we can enhance our operations and provide more efficient and effective service to our clients. Listed here are just two of our key affiliations. The Joint Inspection Group (JIG): an internationally recognized forum where experts in all aspects of the aviation fuel supply industry can come together to establish and enhance standards for the safe handling and quality control of aviation fuels globally. They also work to ensure that those standards are recognized and endorsed by all parties with a stake in the industry. International Air Transport Association (IATA): The trade association for the world’s airlines, representing some 280 airlines (83% of total air traffic.) Through the Technical Fuel Group (TFG) and the IATA Fuel Quality Pool (IFQP), IATA coordinates with industry suppliers and service providers to ensure a reliable supply of safe and high quality jet fuel

Fuel Card Management

DGCI provides flexible payment options to meet the needs of all fueling operations 24/7/365. Flexible payment options let clients optimize their cash flow while keeping their mission on-time and on-track. Currently, all of our into plane locations accept the AEG Carnet Fuel Card AVCARD®, Multi Service Aero Card US Bank Aviation Card Aviation Intoplane Reimbursement Card® (also known as the AIR Card)

Technical Expertise – Lab

DGCI owns, operates, and expertly maintains a wide range of equipment necessary to verify procured, additized, or otherwise modified fuel and related products. To support these operations, we employ a number of technical staff members, including a Laboratory Manager. This highly qualified professional is responsible for ensuring that all equipment is calibrated, all tests are within repeatability and reproducibility ranges, all personnel are properly trained, and that all samples are properly tested in accordance with all applicable guidelines.)

Afghanistan Fuel Facility Expansion

To ensure that DGCI clients received consistent, high quality products and services, we added new fuel storage facilities and expanded our capabilities to become a DLA Energy-approved A-lab facility. In our A-lab, which adheres to quality specifications and regulatory standards (including ASTM, ISO, and IP), DGCI professionals troubleshoot, resolve trace contamination issues, and generate detailed fuel analysis reports for the Defense Logistics Agency – Energy. As part of this expansion effort, DGCI also added more transport routes and additional staff.

To understand the importance of this expansion, one must remember that, prior to 2013, fuel earmarked for Afghanistan was often tested in Dubai or Athens. With the expansion of DGCI facilities, that vital testing could now be done in Afghanistan itself – significantly minimizing costs and delays and greatly enhancing customer service.

Baghdad Diplomatic Support Center (BDSC)

In 2016, the DLA Energy began a contractor transition DGC International (Post, Camps & Stations contract) and Asada Logistics (Into-Plane contract). To ensure the success of that transition and the DLA Energy mission in Iraq, DGCI expended considerable resources on dedicated transport assets; In-Transit Visibility software; leased space on Iraqi Military bases; and forward-deploying collapsible fuel bladders. Additionally, we have mobilized a team of US Expats, including logisticians, fuel experts, and quality assurance SME.

In October 2017, Asada Logistics (the DLA ENERGY Prime contractor for Into-Plane support at Baghdad Diplomatic Support Center) contacted DGCI for support after their previous subcontractor was unable to meet contractual obligations. Due to a number of contractual and operations challenges, no company other than DGCI was willing to make the investments necessary to ensure a smooth transition from the incumbent contractor. Our team of 8 professional fuels managers and operators collectively have considerably more than 100 years of collective experience in aircraft refueling operations. By the end of November 2017, DGCI refueled 497 aircraft with 206,000 gallons of JP8 and Into-Plane operations had been stabilized.

Non-Standard Rotary Wing Aircraft

Non-standard rotary wing aircraft play a major role in military operations around the world. However, how to obtain Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) services for these aircraft (including the Mi series) has been a perplexing problem for US Government agencies, and Foreign Military sales clients.

Fortunately, DGCI and its consortium partners have an exceptional capacity in this regard. Specifically, Team DGCI is able to offer:
  • PMI Certified program and project managers.
  • World-class Mi-series MRO capabilities.
  • Supply-chain logistics management capability throughout the Middle East and other OCONUS locations.
  • Demonstrated capability to provide business operations and life support in remote, austere and dangerous environments.
  • Rotary-wing and fixed wing flight operations, mission planning, and aircrew training.
  • Organic airlift capability to meet surge requirements and deliver personnel, material and cargo as required to Afghanistan and other OCONUS locations as required.
  • Certified and licensed Mi-series maintenance, repair, and overhaul capabilities.
  • Supply chain management of Mi-series rotary-wing aircraft in Afghanistan and OCONUS locations.
  • Experience conducting MRO operations in Afghanistan for Mi-series aircraft.
  • Understanding of:
    • US Government policies to include as they relate to US Government sanctions of Russian governmental entities, companies and individuals.
    • Afghanistan culture and operational conditions.
    • Operating within Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC), US Department of the Treasury and US Department of State, International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITARS) rules and regulations while dealing with Russian companies and organization.
