<p style="margin-bottom:11px">In the fast-paced world of aviation, efficient fuel management is not just a necessity—it's a strategic advantage. Fueling an aircraft efficiently and without delays can significantly impact an operation’s bottom line. As the aviation industry evolves, the demand for smarter, more streamlined ways to procure fuel continues to grow. This is where <a href="https://www.phillips66.com/aviation/contract-fuel/?utm_source=AIN&amp;utm_campaign=AVI_2024&amp;utm_medium=Paid&amp;utm_content=Native_ContractFuel_October" target="_blank">Phillips 66® Aviation’s Contract Fuel Program</a> stands out as a game-changer. Designed to address the distinct needs of the general aviation industry, this program offers a host of benefits that go far beyond traditional fuel purchasing methods. With a focus on offering discounted fuel nationwide, operational ease and direct relationships, the Phillips 66® Aviation Contract Fuel Program helps aviation professionals navigate today’s dynamic industry with confidence.</p>
<h2>Unlocking the Advantages of the Phillips 66® Aviation Contract Fuel Program</h2>
<p>“With the Phillips 66® Aviation Contract Fuel Program, pilots and operators can fuel up efficiently, cutting down on administrative tasks on the back end,” said Seth Thompson, Contract Fuel Specialist, Phillips 66® Aviation. “This program is designed to streamline the fueling process. No markups on ancillary fees, no minimum volume requirements to join, and no hassle— an adept, reliable fuel service that makes quick turns possible and keeps your operations running smoothly.”</p>
<h2>Streamlined Operations: No Cards or Releases are Needed—Fuel Up and Go</h2>
<p>Efficiency is critical in aviation, where every minute counts. Members are preapproved, and all they need to provide is their company name and tail number —no need for cards or releases—making the process quick and hassle-free.</p>
<p>Thompson added, “This streamlined process also benefits FBOs by allowing them to manage contract fuel transactions efficiently, which ultimately improves overall workflow.”</p>
<p>By eliminating time-consuming administrative tasks, such as paperwork at the FBO counter, FBOs can focus on delivering quality service, serving more customers and maximizing aircraft availability. This approach enhances the overall experience for pilots and operators at both the point of sale and in the back office.</p>


<h2>No Fees, No Mark-Ups or Minimum Volume to Sign-Up</h2>
<p>One of the standout features of Phillips 66® Aviation’s Contract Fuel Program is the elimination of hidden fees or additional mark-ups. That’s right. There is no fee or minimum volume to sign up with Phillips 66® Aviation. In traditional fuel transactions, pilots and operators often face additional mark-up on misc. or ancillary fees—ranging from ramp charges to handling aspects such as catering, cleaning and infrastructure costs. These additional expenses can add up quickly, making it difficult to predict and control fuel expenses.</p>
<p>With the Phillips 66® Aviation Contract Fuel Program, pilots and operators know exactly what they’re paying for. This is particularly important for those running large fleets or operating on tight margins, as it provides a clear picture of fuel costs without any unexpected financial burdens.</p>
<h2>Direct Relationship with the Fuel Refiner and Access to Phillips 66® Branded FBOs</h2>
<p>Another key aspect of the program is the access it provides to Phillips 66® branded FBOs, along with the opportunity to establish a direct relationship with a fuel refiner. For 97 years, Phillips 66® FBOs have been known for their commitment to providing exceptional service, reliable fuel and a safe experience. Many of these FBOs are strategically located at airports across the country, ensuring that pilots and operators have convenient access to quality general aviation fuel services wherever their flights take them.</p>
<p>For those who value consistency and quality, this is a huge plus. Having a direct relationship with a refiner ensures that the fuel delivered consistently meets high standards and pilots and operators won’t have to worry about fuel supply. From producing 100-octane avgas for the military during WWII and introducing anti-icing additives to pioneering the next generation of unleaded avgas solutions, Phillips 66® Aviation continues to lead as an innovative fuel supplier, ensuring the aviation industry is always cleared for go.</p>
<p>Additionally, pilots and operators can rely on the fact that they’ll receive the same level of customer service and care no matter where they refuel within the Phillips 66® branded FBO network. Many of these branded FBOs go above and beyond to offer amenities that make the refueling process smoother and more comfortable for pilots, crew and passengers.</p>


<h2>Compatibility with Scheduling and Fuel Pricing Platforms</h2>
<p>Today’s aviation industry relies heavily on technology to optimize operations. From flight scheduling to fuel management, digital tools play an integral role in keeping things running smoothly. Phillips 66® Aviation’s Contract Fuel Program is fully compatible with all of the industry’s leading scheduling and fuel pricing platforms, making it easy for FBOs and operators to integrate it into their existing workflows.</p>
<p>This compatibility ensures that pilots and operators can access Phillips 66® real-time fuel pricing information within their preferred systems. For larger operations, this integration is key to maintaining oversight and control over fuel expenses while reducing the potential for errors.</p>
<h2>The Broader Impact of Phillips 66® Aviation Contract Fuel</h2>
<p>While Phillips 66® Aviation’s Contract Fuel Program has immediate advantages, its broader impact on the aviation industry is equally significant. By providing a more efficient and reliable way to purchase fuel, the program empowers pilots and operators to make smarter decisions about where and when to refuel. This can lead to substantial long-term savings and operational efficiencies.</p>
<p>As the aviation industry continues to evolve, there’s no doubt that efficient fuel management will remain a top priority for pilots and operators. With its reliable supply, ease of doing business and commitment to safety and innovation, Phillips 66® Aviation’s Contract Fuel Program is poised to lead the way in helping pilots, operators and FBOs meet the challenges of today and tomorrow.</p>
<p>In addition to serving charter and corporate clients, the Phillips&nbsp;66® Aviation Contract Fuel Program is available for all operations including FAR 91, 121, 125, 135, and 137 operators, allowing for jet and avgas purchases at participating Phillips 66® FBOs.</p>
