MANILA - Petron Corp.'s Malaysian unit has bagged a contract to supply Malaysia Airlines with fuel.
Ramon S. Ang, Petron chairman and chief executive officer, said Petron Malaysia and MAS recently agreed to an exclusive six-month fuel supply contract for the carrier’s Airbus 380 fleet.
“Petron is proud and honored to partner with Malaysia Airlines, which is now one of the world’s few elite airlines operating the Airbus A380. Moving forward, we hope that this partnership will continue to grow and provide more innovations to benefit more travelers,” he said.
Formerly Esso Malaysia Berhad, Petron Malaysia was acquired by the Philippines' largest oil refiner and fuel retailer from US oil giant Exxon Mobil for $610 million in March this year.
Esso Malaysia has five decades of experience supplying aviation fuel to both commercial and freight carriers in the region.
Other than MAS, the Malaysian oil company supplied SIA, Saudi Air, Royal Jordanian, among others.
Recently, Petron started servicing the fuel needs of Air Philippines Express’ Malaysian operations. AirPhil is the budget unit of Philippine Airlines, which San Miguel Corp. bought into last month. San Miguel also owns Petron.
In mid-June, Petron Malaysia opened its first Petron-branded service stations in eight locations in Malaysia.
Petron Malaysia plans to rebrand 560 Esso and Mobil stations.
"The change is a natural progression following the successful sale of ExxonMobil’s downstream oil business in Malaysia to Petron," Ang said.
