Operational Benefits

The three areas that will generate substantial savings for you when using aFuel

Turnaround Minutes

The turnaround process is crucial for airline success, and optimizing the fueling process has always been a challenge due to changing suppliers and the lack of universal standards. However, aFuel revolutionizes this aspect, providing tangible benefits that streamline operations. With aFuel, the optimized turnaround process focuses on two key aspects: reducing the overall duration and enhancing efficiency. By digitalizing the fueling process, aFuel cuts fueling time by an average of 25%, achieved through improved real-time communication. This results in faster, more reliable turnarounds, ultimately boosting your airline’s performance and profitability.

Additionally, aFuel’s algorithmic features provide automated tankering forecasts and adjustments, further enhancing cost savings and operational efficiency. By leveraging these capabilities, airlines can avoid unnecessary charges and optimize their fueling strategies, leading to significant savings and smoother operations.

Additional Benefits

Besides the monetary savings aFuel offers additional qualitative benefits

Data Quality

aFuel revolutionizes fueling data quality by implementing a streamlined digital process that eliminates the need for manual transfer of paper fuel slips. With aFuel, airlines receive high-quality digital data from every station and supplier, significantly reducing back-office workload and enabling real-time performance monitoring and process improvements. The extensive and standardized fueling data can be seamlessly integrated into overall turnaround analysis, offering immense potential for operational enhancements. By effectively utilizing this comprehensive data, airlines can pinpoint areas with the greatest potential for improvement, driving efficiency and performance.

Backoffice Workload

aFuel extends its benefits beyond the operational fueling process by enhancing back-office processes through digital communication. With aFuel, fuel slips are issued digitally and seamlessly integrated into the invoicing system. The standardized format and high data quality from connected airports streamline the entire process. This automation frees employees from repetitive tasks, improves accuracy, and enhances overall process quality. Additionally, automated invoice checking and improved emission reporting become possible with consistent and reliable data, leading to more efficient and compliant operations.

Carbon Footprint

aFuel presents two significant opportunities for positive and sustainable impact. Firstly, by eliminating paper-based processes, aFuel reduces waste and promotes environmental sustainability. Additionally, upfront communication for tankering flights minimizes CO2 emissions and eliminates unnecessary fuel truck movements. These steps, while seemingly small, are vital contributions towards a more sustainable aviation industry.
