Earlier this year, we wrote several blogs about CORSIA (the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation) and what airlines need to do to prepare for it. As a reminder, here are the upcoming deadlines: This year, you need to produce and submit your Emissions Monitoring Plan (ideally by 30 September 2018), which should […]
Most airlines find the task of fuel procurement frustrating. It’s complex, time-consuming and resource-intensive. Yet it’s clearly critical to their profitability because fuel remains one of an airline’s largest expenses. Recent figures suggest that it accounts for about 30% of costs. Being on the other side of the negotiation isn’t easy either. Fuel suppliers need […]
We’re excited to announce the launch of a new product that helps run faster, paperless fuel tenders. It will mean far less admin, fewer disputes and better deals. eTender is one of the first solutions to use the industry-wide XML data standard for fuel tenders, which was developed by IATA. It automates the exchange […]
Malaysia’s The Star newspaper recently reported that Asian jet fuel buyers are paying the highest premiums to get supply since 2008 – $1.01 a barrel above the benchmark.

Our CEO, Klaus-Peter Warnke said recently in the press that airlines could save 2–3% of their fuel expenses by using the FuelPlus platform, and that this is equivalent to selling an extra 300,000 seats for a medium-sized airline. So where would these savings come from and how much could your airline shave off its total […]
In our last blog about CORSIA and recent CORSIA webinar, we talked about how airlines need to prepare for the scheme’s first key milestone on January 1, 2019. To recap, that date is when airlines from countries participating in the first phase of CORSIA need to ideally start monitoring their CO2 emissions for international flights. […]
In a recent blog, we touched upon some of the key operational challenges for aviation fuel suppliers. One of those challenges was contract management. Keeping track of the daily changes in uplift and cost, monitoring airlines’ credit limits – contract management tasks likes these are often largely manual and therefore very time-consuming for fuel suppliers. […]
Read the latest press release following the launch of our CORSIA-ready emissions module: FuelPlus, a leading provider of aviation fuel management software, has launched a new product that helps airlines comply with the monitoring and reporting requirements of CORSIA (the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation). “Using our new Emissions Module, […]
2018 has arrived and with it, a pressing need for airlines to prepare for CORSIA (the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation). From January 1, 2019, airlines from countries participating in the first phase of CORSIA need to monitor their CO2 emissions for international flights. ICAO will be using the emissions data from […]
Today’s aviation fuel suppliers face many challenges which threaten their efficiency and profitability. Some are obvious and high-profile – the volatility of oil prices, the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the competitiveness of the airline industry which has caused airlines to chase the best price. Some are less obvious and not widely discussed but […]
