Buffalo Airways recently deployed the award-winning Bulk Aviation Transportation Tank (BATT) on its Lockheed L-188 Electra aircraft. Buffalo Airways acquired two BATT 2100 tanks to fit their Electra aircraft, making them the first operator to purchase this size of tank. By having two BATTs, Buffalo Airways has the option of using both tanks at the same time, allowing the Electra to haul up to 15,900 l of bulk fuel in one trip, or it can deploy only one BATT tank and use the remaining space for other cargo. These options provide maximum flexibility to meet the needs of the mining clients.

Rod McBryan, Director of Maintenance for Buffalo Airways said “ The BATT tanks performed flawlessly and the Lockheed Electra installation is extremely easy to switch between cargo and tanker, ultimately making the BATT system our first choice for heavy life fuel into the far north.”
