Because the biggest, single expense in an aircraft’s annual operating budget is fuel, we inspect for impurities, water, age and one other very important attribute. Price. Our SmartFuel! program allows us to purchase fuel directly from oil companies and wholesalers, and then negotiate with FBOs (fixed-base operators) for the into-plane fee. In addition, our Smart Fuel! credit card virtually eliminates the time consuming chore of locating the best price and service for every flight. Best of all, it comes with a continually updated list of domestic and international FBO’s, which are graded by fuel costs, ramp, security and handling fees. The net result: considerable savings for our clients.

While the airlines have been enjoying the economies of bulk fuel purchases for years, this is the first time that a private aircraft management firm has offered a program allowing private owners to reap similar benefits.
