Deschamps - Aircraft Defuelling

The size and range of new aircrafts is getting more and more important and the defuelling of these huge birds in the event of a runway excursion might be challenging in some cases. Some airplanes can carry up to 300 000 litres of kerosene and a whole day might be required to defuel entirely the aircraft with a large fuel truck.

Time is an important issue as well as safety during an Aircraft recovery and there is a way to carry out this task faster and in optimum safety conditions. This solution is the use of bladders.

Deschamps provides a wide range of bladders of various fuel capacities in order the suit the needs of any operators. By positioning bladders on either side of a disabled aircraft, the defuel time can be divided by 2 for faster aircraft recovery operations and significant cost reductions.
