Digital aircraft refueling continues to gain ground: aFuel now also available in Melbourne
aFuel, the world’s leading solution for digital aircraft refuelling via a unified platform, continues to gain ground and is now also available at Melbourne International Airport in Australia. Furthermore, a second refueling service provider at Prague Airport in the Czech Republic is now also using aFuel.
aFuel is a product by Information Design One, the Frankfurt, Germany-based aviation technology provider that offers airlines numerous benefits relating to refuelling. Thanks to aFuel, airlines can, among other things, significantly optimise processes and thereby save costs, as well as drastically reduce refuelling-related delays during turnarounds.
Melbourne is now the second aFuel airport in Australia
aFuel’s market entry in Melbourne took place in collaboration with into-plane fueling service provider Skytanking. Airlines such as Cathay Pacific and Finnair, both of which have been successfully using aFuel for years, can now also refuel digitally at Australia’s second-largest airport. Skytanking uses the aFuel Apron App for digital communication with Cathay Pacific and Finnair.
“Australia is an important market for aFuel, which is why we are delighted that our pioneering platform solution is now also available in Melbourne,” explains Julia Büchner, CEO of Information Design One. “Following Perth, Melbourne is the second airport in Australia where aFuel can be used, and we are working hard to further expand our network across the country.”
Expansion in Prague thanks to seamless integration
At Prague Airport, Information Design One is now also collaborating with Czech Airline Handling, meaning that, following Levorato, this is the second refueling service provider at the site to use aFuel. To this end, the Fuelomat application has been integrated with aFuel. Fuelomat is the IPA dispatch software developed by Novum Global, which is currently in use at Czech Airline Handling.
“We have integrated Fuelomat seamlessly into aFuel, just as we have done many times before with similar applications,” adds Julia Büchner. “This flexibility is one of the key strengths of our platform, as it allows all stakeholders to integrate aFuel into their existing IT infrastructure whilst retaining the full scope of functionality. aFuel is the only solution worldwide that makes this possible.”
Over one million digital refuelling transactions per year via aFuel
Numerous internationally renowned airlines now rely on aFuel and carry out more than one million refuelling operations per year using the platform. aFuel is already available at more than 300 airports in 42 countries worldwide.
