Petrobras Implements 17.1% Increase in Aviation Kerosene.

Aviation Kerosene is Adjusted and the Increase is 17.1%

Aviation kerosene (QAV), fuel used in large aircraft, following a 17.1% adjustment on February 1, was sold to distributors for approximately R$5.30 per liter or R$ 5,268.95 per m³, on average.

The increase occurred after an 11.6% drop announced at the beginning of January.

In 2016, Petrobras established a price correction system encompassing gasoline and diesel oil, taking into account variations in the exchange rate and the value of the barrel of oil in international trade.

Shipping costs, port fees, and internal transportation costs are also considered in the calculations.

This method protects the company against possible political interventions to delay adjustments.

Conversely, price increases tend to be nearly constant in times of instability, such as the war between Russia and Ukraine, being directly felt by consumers.

The aviation kerosene produced at the company’s refineries or imported is sold by Petrobras only to distributors, who forward and sell the products to resellers, air transport companies, and other end consumers at airports.

The distributors and resellers are responsible for the installations at the airports and supply services.

After the establishment of the PPI (International Parity Price), Petrobras enjoyed successive profits and was able to distribute dividends at record levels.

According to Eduardo Sanovicz, president of Abear, “the rise in QAV prices remains the biggest challenge for Brazilian airlines, as this input represents about 40% of total costs. The volatility of the dollar exchange rate is also concerning, as more than 50% of costs are dollarized.”

Abear (Brazilian Association of Airlines) stated in a note that, over the last 12 months, fuel has accumulated a 37.8% increase.

The adjustments leading to increases in QAV fuel prices practiced by Petrobras have been identified as impactful on the total costs of air operations.
