Terpel (Organización Terpel S.A.)
Into-plane fuelling and fuel storage of Jet A-1 and Avgas at Alfonso López Pumarejo Airport; Terpel operates the airport's aviation fuel plant (confirmed via a Terpel promotional video of the Valledupar "Alfonso López" fuel facility storing JET A-1 and AVGAS, and via trade-press coverage of an Aug 25, 2024 total fuel-supply suspension ordered by Corpocesar resolution No. 0074 against Terpel's station, NIT 830.095.213-0, tied to a Cartagena refinery incident). No source confirms whether normal supply had fully resumed as of 2026; scheduled airline service at VUP continues, which is consistent with fuel being available, but the specific resumption was not directly verified.
