Jet A specification fuel has been used in the United States since the 1950s and is usually not available outside the United States and a few Canadian airports such as Toronto and Vancouver, whereas Jet A-1 is the standard specification fuel used in the rest of the world other than the former Soviet states where TS-1 is the most common standard. Both Jet A and Jet A-1 have a flash point higher than 38 °C (100 °F), with an autoignition temperature of 210 °C (410 °F).
Freezing point:
• −40 °C (−40 °F)
• −40 °C (−40 °F)
Jet A fuel must meet:
• ASTM specification D1655
• ASTM specification D1655
