SubscribeAircraft fuelling facilities and services are a vital part of the commercial and operational life of an airport. No fuel…no fly, as we say.
Yet the fuel activity is often left to one or two oil companies to decide with little input from the airport. Now airports can turn to Skytanking.
Skytanking is an independent provider of aviation fuel facilities and services, with strong financial backing and a wealth of experience in aviation fuelling.
Skytanking's business is to finance, build and operate aviation fuel storage and hydrant systems, and to provide into-plane refuelling services. We do not sell fuel.
Open-Access Fuel System
There are a number of benefits to having a single open-access fuel system, built and operated by Skytanking and open to all fuel suppliers:
- Better use of capital - the airport can concentrate its capital in core business.
- More efficient - one fuel system, instead of one for each oil company, saves land and capital, reducing the cost of fuel to airlines.
- Independence - separating the fuel system from fuel supply means there is no barrier to entry for suppliers who wish to compete for airline business.
Skytanking operates the fuel storage and hydrants at Munich, Brussels, Stuttgart, Bangalore and Chicago Midway airports and, through subsidiaries, at Athens and Luxembourg airports. Apart from fuel storage and hydrants, Skytanking provides into-plane fuelling services in Philadelphia, Ft. Lauderdale, Orlando, Atlanta, Dallas, Denver, El Paso, Tulsa, Raleigh-Durham, Zurich, Vienna and Ostend in Belgium.
Fuel Supply-Chain
If your airport expansion plans include investments in fuel storage, the consolidation of several supplier tank farms or an increase in fuel capacity, then now is the right time to evaluate how the fuel supply-chain can be organised in the most efficient way.
In times of increased competition between airports, the resulting lower fuel fees can make the difference that counts.
