Polaroil (KNI A/S)
Polaroil (KNI A/S) is Greenland's state liquid-fuel company that imports, stores, distributes and sells jet fuel nationwide (70 plants). Likely the upstream/bulk Jet A-1 supplier for Qaanaaq, but no source specifically names Polaroil as the into-plane agent at BGQQ; the Polaroil fuel-price list does not enumerate Qaanaaq. Airport into-plane is performed by the airport operator. Confirm with Polaroil/airport.
