printpdf The Leading Airline Industry System for Daily Fuel Management

As airlines seek every competitive advantage, a clear and efficient fuel management system is more important than ever. Every drop counts. Every invoice counts. Every contract must be as low as possible. Every chance to save money must be uncovered. And the analysis that supports airline planning must be as accurate as possible.

That's why FuelPlus' state-of-the-art software solutions have been developed in close cooperation with major airlines. Whether you are a major international airline or a regional carrier, FuelPlus can make your business more efficient. We offer a complete Enterprise Fuel Management product, as well as a hosted system for low-cost carriers or those looking for outsourcing fuel management. Contact us today for a demonstration.

"Fuel Management is a complex task in this globalized world and it is unimaginable how to accomplish it without FuelPlus."

Helmut Fredrich, Lufthansa VP Corporate Fuel Management

“We estimate that the system has allowed us to make substantial savings on fuel costs, in the region of US $6.5 million since inception, because of the way it automatically checks volume, pricing, invoice duplication and our compliance with the European Union’s Emissions Trading Scheme.”

Francois Oberholzer, Etihad Airways VP Financial Planning & Analysis
