Kuvviti Fuel Inc
Kuvviti Fuel Inc, a locally based fuel dealer in Quaqtaq, QC, is listed as the FBO/aviation fuel provider at Quaqtaq Airport (CYHA) offering 100LL and Jet A; the FBO record is dated (last confirmed circa 2014), a separate source lists a different phone number for the business, and a distinct community fuel-depot operator (FCNQ Petro Inc.) also serves Quaqtaq, so current operating status is unconfirmed.
