Listed by some airport fuel-supply trackers (LFS.aero, SUAT Fuels) as a secondary Jet A-1 supplier at DXB alongside ENOC. ADNOC is Abu Dhabi's national oil company and its core aviation-fuel footprint is normally associated with Abu Dhabi (AUH) rather than Dubai; an active DXB supply role could not be independently confirmed, so downgraded from available to unconfirmed pending a primary-source check.
