aFuel

The World’s Leading Digital Fueling Platform

Are you looking to future-proof your fueling operations in order to shorten turnaround times and optimize your processes? Then please welcome aFuel and say goodbye to fuel-related delays and tedious paperwork. Together with the world’s leading airlines, our information designers have developed this digital fueling platform to improve your efficiency and save you money.

Digital Fueling Is Key

In aviation, every minute counts, every liter matters while efficiency, safety and transparency are vital. Paper-based fueling processes, however, are time-consuming and error-prone making communication between cockpit, ground staff and fuel providers difficult and slow.

Digitalization offers the key to more efficient operations and unlocks a new level of performance. But establishing a fully digital refueling workflow is quite complex: Airlines need to connect to different fueling systems of different providers at every airport they serve – resulting in a significant integration effort and adding considerable complexity to the rollout of digital fueling.

NO-AFUEL APPROACH

aFuel is designed to reduce this complexity. It is the world’s leading digital fueling platform and your fast track to digitalized fueling operations at over 300 airports worldwide – with only one single integration.

That’s right! Airlines no longer need to establish individual interfaces for every fueling partner and launch a costly IT project for every new airport or provider change. We‘ve already connected over 40 into-plane agents to the aFuel network to date, so that airlines gain instant access to all partners on our platform – with that one single connection.

AFUEL APPROACH

With one single integration, aFuel gives you instant access to all current and future partners connected to the aFuel platform.

Benefits for All Stakeholders

Experience a fully digital workflow: place your fuel orders digitally on your EFB, receive process updates from the into-plane agent and a digital fuel delivery slip that is automatically sent to backoffice in real-time. No paper, no hassle.

Ensure smoother turnarounds and more on-time departures: real-time visibility of fueling operations eliminates unnecessary status calls and minimizes guesswork at critical instances of the turnaround. No information gaps, no delays.

Speed up your invoice reconciliation and improve payment terms with your suppliers: seamless integration with your accounting systems ensures data quality and eliminates. any need for manual data entry. Pay faster, pay less.

Eliminate the need to integrate with every fueling provider individually: one integration provides access to all IPAs connected resulting in a streamlined digital fueling process worldwide. Instant access, IATA AIDX compliant.

The Digital Fueling Blueprint

Lufthansa Group has built one of the most mature digital fueling processes in the industry. With high network coverage and deep system integration, they’ve optimized operations from the apron to the back office—ensuring smoother turnarounds, faster invoicing, and accurate emissions reporting across their global network.
