Pilots Increasingly Using Contract Fuel for Jet Fuel Purchase

A recent poll of customers conducted by Avfuel Corporation found that pilots and flight departments are increasingly relying on providers of contract fuel in order to control jet fuel costs.

“In this kind of fuel market, it’s more important than ever for flight departments to find the most competitive price on jet fuel available,” said Russ Standefer, Avfuel’s Vice President of Contract Fuel. “Avfuel’s Contract Fuel program makes the process of locating the best jet fuel deals very simple from both a buying and billing perspective.”

Avfuel’s targeted Contract Fuel program allows flight departments to centralize fuel purchasing so that when they purchase fuel through Avfuel, the bills will always come from one company. Avfuel Contract Fuel has simplified and streamlined the entire process with 24-7 telephone support, email and internet access to online locator guides that help the flight department determine the best fuel stop and online authorization to make arrangement for fuel. There are also frequent opportunities for earning AVTRIP points.

“Avfuel’s Contract Fuel program is effective for several reasons: broad global coverage, ease-of-use and significant on-the-road savings both in the U.S. and abroad," Standefer said. "We know that while there are other contract fuel programs out there vying for flight department’s business, none of them can approach Avfuel Contract Fuel in terms of customer service, flexibility and breadth of account management offerings."
