A place supplying jet fuel or other motor fuel to airplanes, helicopters, or other flying vehicles.
An aircraft fueling station is a place where jet fuel or motor fuel is supplied to airplanes, helicopters, and other flying vehicles. It is usually located at an airport.

Gas stations supply road vehicles, while boat fueling serves water vehicles. The kind of vehicle supplied distinguishes these facilities.
