AVTUR is the generic name for aviation turbine fuel aka posh kerosene. Jet A1 is just one version of that. There are other versions that have different additives/formulations that help combat icing and other conditions (eg static). There's Jet A, Jet B (wide cut), military grades like JP-4 JP-5 etc.
AVGAS is used in piston aircraft. (Aviation gasoline).
