Aircraft fuel efficiency is crucial for both economic and environmental reasons. It helps airlines reduce costs and lowers greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to a greener planet.
Fuel
Aviation fuel, also known as jet fuel, is the lifeblood of the aviation industry. It is a specialized type of fuel designed to meet the demanding requirements of jet engines that power commercial, private, and military aircraft.
Aviation fueling eliminate human error and loss that come with traditional paper ticketing for fuel transactions, and the manual measurement and reconciliation of fuel inventory in fuel tanks.
Aviation fuels are petroleum-based fuels, or petroleum and synthetic fuel blends, used to power aircraft, They are kerosene-based (JP-8 and Jet A-1) for gas turbine-powered aircraft. Piston-engined aircraft use gasoline and those with diesel engines may use jet fuel (kerosene).
