The Tristar team in Uganda has successfully started the fuel hydrant at the passenger terminal at the Entebbe International Airport. This signals Tristar's full coverage of the entire airport as an open access fuel farm operator for all oil marketing companies (OMCs) with the new fuel storage facility and fuel hydrant pipeline system.

The fuel farm and fuel hydrant at the cargo terminal commenced operations in early 2025 after the signing of the Agreement between Tristar Group and the Uganda Civil Aviation Authority (UCAA) covering a 25-year Built-Operate-Transfer (BOT) term. The Tristar facility was designed as per the JIG, EI and IATA standards and has a storage capacity of 12 million liters while an additional 4 million liters tank is under construction, which will bring the total storage capacity to 16 million liters. It is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities - 24X7 operational SCADA operated control systems and Leak Detection System for fuel hydrant.
