At the national level.
now the Provincial Municipalities are in charge of contracting Companies that take charge of the Aviation fuel Distribution in the Airports.

The date until which in the AD SEMT the fuel supply will not be available 2306162000, according to the NOTAM it is only estimated. It can be before or what would be more complicated to lengthen.

We trust that the 16 June everything is resolved.
