British oil and gas giant BP has decided to exit all of its aviation activities in South Africa, including refuelling planes at OR Tambo International Airport.
Asked whether it is because of the SA government's position on Russia, BP only said the decision to withdraw is "as a result of Air BP's current global business strategy".
News24 reported earlier that, last year, two Russian planes could not get fuel from large international fuel suppliers at the OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg, and Cape Town International Airport respectively. This was because fuel suppliers had to adhere to the sanctions imposed on Russia by their countries of origin and their own company policies.
