The choke point

If this UK plant stops, every jet stops

A single Cheshire facility is the world's only source for both mandatory jet fuel additives, with no backup.

The number

30-90days of airline inventory

Innospec's Ellesmere Port produces DCI-4A/DCI-6A (corrosion inhibitor) and Stadis 450 (antistatic)—both legally required in commercial aviation fuel. A six-month shutdown from fire, flooding, or sabotage would eliminate global supply of both additives simultaneously, with no alternative facility capable of replacement volumes.
