A power system for an aircraft includes one or more gas turbine engines arranged to burn a fuel so as to provide power to the aircraft; a plurality of fuel tanks each arranged to contain a fuel to be used to provide power to the aircraft; and a fuel manager. At least two of the fuel tanks contain different fuels, which have different proportions of a sustainable aviation fuel. The fuel manager is arranged to store information on the fuel contained in each fuel tank; and to control fuel supply so as to select a specific fuel accordingly to power at least the majority of operations on the ground. The fuel manager may additionally identify which tank contains the fuel with the highest proportion of a sustainable aviation fuel; and that fuel may be used to power at least the majority of operations on the ground.
