A method is provided of inerting one or more fuel tanks of an aircraft. The method comprises the steps of; providing a temperature value indicative of a temperature at the aircraft's destination; comparing said temperature value with a predetermined value; and on the basis of said comparison, controlling the provision of inerting gas to the one or more aircraft fuel tanks. The method therefore facilitates at least one climatic condition at the aircrafts destination to be taken into account when deciding whether or not to inert the fuel tanks.
