Airlines
Airlines want their aircraft to be fuelled on time, safely and at the lowest cost. Skytanking fuels more than 2 million aircraft per year in line with these aims.
In most cases, we are working for jet-fuel suppliers who have into-wing fuel contracts with airlines but Skytanking also works directly for airlines providing into-plane services at their main hubs.
Airlines can benefit from Skytanking’s position as a leading independent provider of aviation fuelling services in a number of areas:
Self-supply
- Skytanking can provide direct into-plane services to an airline as the last part of its jet-fuel self-supply chain.
Expanded supply options
- Using Skytanking to separate into-plane service from supply means that an airline’s fuel supply options are not limited by their jet-fuel supplier’s into-plane capacity.
Price and service
- A direct contract with Skytanking allows airlines to get the price and service benefits they want without owning an into-plane company.
Outsourcing
- Airlines with an in-house fuelling service can turn a fixed cost into a competitive variable cost by outsourcing the activity to Skytanking. We are always ready to acquire airline shareholdings in storage or into-plane companies.
Investment
- Skytanking specializes in building, owning and/or operating fuel storage and hydrant systems with guaranteed open access and in line with IATA Guidance on Airport Fuel Storage Capacity
