Avjet Holding inc

What Avjet Holding inc does

Avjet Holding inc is a privately held Quebec-based aviation services group operating under a dual-brand structure: Avjet, focused on aviation fuel distribution and Fixed Base Operations (FBO), and TSAS, a wholly-owned subsidiary delivering airport ground handling services. The company runs more than 45 service points across Quebec, Ontario, the Maritimes, New Brunswick, and Newfoundland and Labrador, supported by a fleet of 55+ fuel tanker trucks, a 100,000+ barrel annual production capacity, and on-site FBO facilities with heated hangars (notably 17,000 sq ft at St-Hubert and 18,400 sq ft at Sept-Îles). Its fuel distribution offering covers bulk delivery, overwing refueling, and drummed petroleum products (Jet A1, AVGAS 100LL, diesel, furnace oil, lubricants) for airlines, charter operators, private aircraft, and industrial buyers in mining, forestry, and maritime; TSAS layers on ramp operations, de-icing (Type 1 and Type 4), cabin cleaning, passenger experience, and ground support equipment maintenance.

The business combines three distinct revenue streams. Fuel distribution generates transaction-fee revenue from volume sales, delivery fees, and fuel surcharges on aviation and industrial fuel. TSAS ground handling is delivered under professional service contracts with airlines, aircraft operators, and airport authorities, with anchor engagements including Air France, Air Transat, and PAL Airlines, plus high-profile government and diplomatic operations (the 2018 G7 Summit, the 2022 Papal visit). A smaller equipment and training line sells or rents petroleum equipment (tanker trucks, refuelers, above-ground tanks, pumps), provides custom manufacturing, and delivers quality assurance, refueling, and de-icing training programs. Pricing across all lines is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.

The company is pursuing a deliberate sustainability transition, including an exclusive Canadian distribution agreement with Electro Carbon for a biodegradable potassium formate de-icer (launch 2026), founding membership in the Canadian Council for Sustainable Aviation Fuel (C-SAF), Quebec government PETMAF co-funding to convert baggage tractors to electric power, and an all-electric ground handling demonstration with Air France. Its competitive position rests on a dense Quebec-centric FBO and fuel-distribution network, an ISAGO-aligned Safety Management System, 30+ years of operating history, and integrated fuel-plus-ground-handling bundling that competitors would need to replicate through significant capex and regulatory clearance.
