Refuelling Solutions Powers Avalon Airshow Success

It’s a Wrap! Refuelling Solutions Powers the 2025 Avalon Airshow

The Refuelling Solutions combined teams of Mini-Tankers and Maxi-Tankers were thrilled to be a part of the bi-annual Avalon Airshow, held over six exhilarating days from 25-30 March 2025.

From the set up phase, to the last day of the show, the Refuelling Solutions (RFS) Mini-Tanker team played a vital role providing essential fuel support during the construction, setup and running of this iconic event. Many people worked tirelessly to prepare the grounds and bring the airshow to life. With Maxi and Mini-Tankers on hand to ensure a seamless supply of fuel for Aggreko generators, for the exhibition stands, the Australian Defence Force camp, and other vital equipment to run the show, it was satisfying to know our role to supply vital diesel fuel across multiple pieces of equipment, spread over the sprawling airshow ground, ran smoothly and without any issues. 


"Avalon 2025 was all about engagement between industry, defence, the aviation and aerospace community and the general public,” said Justin Giddings, CEO of Avalon Australian International Airshow organiser AMDA Foundation.


Feedback from our exhibitors and Air Force is that once again the airshow achieved this with flying colours, including the largest industry presence we have ever had at the event. Avalon 2025 featured more than 350 aircraft in the air and on the ground, including 45 aerial display aircraft and 64 exhibited by aviation manufacturers.


Aggreko’s Sam Nicholas, Project Manager, said “Our drivers were the unsung heroes of the event with each fuel stop contributing to the smooth running of an event enjoyed by Government officials, Australian Defence Force and thousands of visitors. We’re proud to have been part of the Avalon Airshow and look forward to continuing our role in fuelling large-scale events across Australia. It’s always a thrill to work alongside those bringing incredible experiences to life – whether in aviation or beyond. Until next time, Avalon!”


Refuelling Solutions’ State Manager, Tom Swaby, said ‘It was success for all involved, the RFS team really pulled together and have delivered exceptional service for yet another special event. A job well done by all. Congratulations go to our Professional Operators Perry, John, Gurmail, Andrew and Justin and Victoria’s BDEs (Business Development Executives) Greg Miskin and Anna Berklemans, for their professionalism and dedication working together with the Aggreko team to bring this incredible experience to life.
