AFSN - Aviation Fuelling Services Norway AS

What AFSN - Aviation Fuelling Services Norway AS does

Aviation Fuelling Services Norway AS (AFSN) is a privately held Norwegian company established in 2015 as a joint venture between Shell Aviation and St1, operating the physical aviation fuel distribution infrastructure at 14 Norwegian airports from Oslo Gardermoen to regional gateways in Tromsø, Bergen, Stavanger, Trondheim, and others. AFSN supplies conventional Jet A-1, military-specification JP-8, and Avgas 100LL to commercial airlines, the Norwegian Armed Forces, corporate operators, and general aviation (flying clubs and private pilots) through operational partners (Gardermoen Fuelling Services AS, Flytanking AS, Flybunkringsservice AS, Torp Flytanking AS, Kjevik Fuelservice AS, Avinor AS) and via the Shell Carnet and Fuel & Fly card programs that extend access to approximately 70 countries globally through the Shell Aviation network.

The company's strategic growth product is Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), sourced from St1's biorefinery in Gothenburg (using Honeywell UOP Ecofining technology to convert waste-based oils and fatty acids) and distributed through physical mass-balance allocation blended into airport fuel systems or delivered via third-party verified Book & Claim certificates registered in public registries. AFSN secured ISCC certification in September 2025 and RSB certification in August 2025, the two principal sustainability schemes that enable SAF volumes to qualify under EU ETS, CORSIA, CSRD, GHG Protocol, and SBTi frameworks. In December 2025, AFSN launched Flysmart, a corporate B2B platform with a CO2 reduction calculator and Scope 3.6 reporting functionality, complemented by an October 2025 partnership with SCB delivering the SAF Impact Partner label for independently verified emissions reductions.

AFSN's revenue model is a volume-based transaction fee structure on conventional fuel sales at Norwegian airports (price lists updated monthly, varying by product, location, and volume) plus transaction fees on SAF physical and Book & Claim sales, and transaction processing on Shell Carnet and Fuel & Fly card programs. The company is headquartered in Oslo at Kristian Augusts Gate 13 with approximately 10 employees, generating the bulk of its go-to-market motion through enterprise field sales targeting airlines, government/defense, and corporate travel managers, supported by a 24/7 Shell global helpline. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed. The company is led by CEO Flemming Sindberg, COO Daniel Tholander, and CFO Arve Bø.
