FuelerLinx today released the latest version of its aviation fuel planning software, with a revolutionary new feature that displays operators’ own negotiated contract fuel prices on an interactive route map. The patented new feature, called Axiom Fuel Planner, displays real time fuel prices at all airports in range of every stop on a flight route.
Hill Aircraft at KFTY in Atlanta has received the top rating among Georgia FBOs for four of the past six years.
Truly a full-service FBO, Hill Aircraft at KFTY in Atlanta has been named the No. 1 FBO in Georgia for four of the past six years.
Founded as an aircraft sales and maintenance facility in 1955 by Navy aviator Guy Hill Sr., Hill Aircraft has grown to provide FBO and fuel services and aircraft parts.
Your fuel supply agreement is one of the most important contracts in operating a successful FBO. Your lease with the airport authority is what puts you in business, but your fuel supply agreement is what keeps you in business.
We know the pricing game all too well. Gas stations and auto dealerships have conditioned us to react to pricing of a product or service by offering a perception of a good deal.
In the FBO fuel pricing arena, we tend to play the same game.

In the FBO business today, some customers call ahead for fuel prices, seek to use contract fuel suppliers and try to negotiate when they arrive on your ramp. We would like our customers to believe that our prices are well thought out and not just some arbitrary posted numbers.
Knowing how customers interpret numbers can help your FBO make stronger pricing decisions. What we would like to discuss here are some thoughts that go through people’s minds when they are looking to purchase.

Recently, I was reading an article posted to Eye on the Economy on msnbc.com. The article was titled “As oil prices drop, Fed should get credit.” After reading the article, I decided to write Part 2 to a previous blog post titled The Cost of Aviation Fuel.
In the first post, I talked about continued increases in the cost of aviation fuel and what FBOs can do to mitigate high retail prices. We looked at a number of the reasons for the increasing cost of fuel:
Since then, here is what is happening in the world markets:
When the California-based Center for Environmental Health announced last week it was initiating legal action against oil companies and FBOs in California for distributing leaded aviation gasoline, the National Air Transportation Association (NATA) responded with concern.
Multi Service Corp. and U.S. Bank announced the signing of an agreement that will split the existing Multi Service Aviation fuel card program into two, cooperating programs.
