Air BP — Simultaneous Interpretation for Corporate Aviation
Aviation fuel, ANAC regulation and technical fueling operations vocabulary.
▶ QUICK SUMMARY
Air BP, BP group's aviation fuel division, held an event in Brazil in November 2012 with English-Portuguese simultaneous interpretation, covering technical vocabulary for Jet A-1, AvGas, fueling operations and ANAC regulation. São Paulo, home to Guarulhos Airport, concentrates much of Brazil's aviation sector technical interpretation demand.
The context
Air BP is BP group's aviation fuel division, supplying Jet A-1 and AvGas to airlines, executive aviation and cargo operations at airports around the world, including Guarulhos and Congonhas. Present in Brazil since 1957.
On November 27, 2012, Air BP held an event in São Paulo with English-Portuguese simultaneous interpretation, coordinated via the ARK Interpretações agency. São Paulo — home to Guarulhos Airport, Brazil's aviation hub — concentrates much of the sector's technical events from international companies requiring this kind of interpretation.
An earlier 2011 mandate covered a commercial workshop for Air BP's own clients — aviation fuel buyers, not distributors or internal staff. That same year, BP also announced the purchase of aviation fuel assets at seven Brazilian airports from Shell Brasil and Cosan for R$185 million, positioning Air BP to operate at 18 airports representing 66% of national demand — market context that coincides with the workshop's timing, though there's no confirmation the event specifically addressed that acquisition.
The event's technical vocabulary

| Jet A-1, AvGas | Aviation fuel specifications, with ASTM and DEF STAN technical standards |
| Fueling operations | Apron refueling, hydrant systems and refueling logistics |
