Petro-Perú Restores Turbo A‑1 Production in Iquitos, Sets Airport Resupply After Cargo Suspension

River blockades that stalled crude deliveries caused the shortfall, and a produced batch is in final resting and recertification before distribution.

Overview

  • Authorities confirmed a NOTAM suspended air cargo shipments to Iquitos from October 10 to 14, while passenger transport was not affected.
  • Petro-Perú officials reported about 8,000 barrels of Turbo A‑1 were produced and placed in a 12‑hour resting phase prior to recertification and delivery.
  • Petro-Perú attributed the disruption to blockages on Loreto rivers, including the Tigre, which delayed crude supplies from UPLAND Oil and Gas.
  • The company said deliveries to key customers, the Peruvian Air Force and Icaro Diecisiete, will resume in the coming days.
  • Diesel and gasoline availability for the city remains guaranteed, and oversight bodies held site visits and scheduled meetings to prevent a repeat shortage.
