VIETNAM AIR PETROL LTD COMPANY (SKYPEC) - A MODEL BUSINESS ENTERPRISE IN ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND INCIDENT PREVENTION

   The Airline business is a high-tech business in rapid development and part of which is air petrol supplying service. Air petrol is stored, delivered, and used across geographical areas where there are oil refineries, and coaster depots; and air petrol is transported, then received and stored at fuel farms at the airport where special purpose vehicles refuel the aircraft. As the above air fuel-supplying chain is potentially polluting the environment, the water resources, farmlands, and the natural environment, greater safety measures have to be taken.
