Independent fuel supplier Avfuel has added the first branded dealer outside North America to its network. The Michigan-based company has partnered with George Best Belfast City Airport and its Eurojet Aviation FBO to provide additional fuel and purchasing options at the airport. Traditionally European airports typically have only one fuel supplier, but the management at Belfast City believes the introduction of Avfuel could have benefits. “Introducing an alternative fuel supplier allows us to be more competitive, which will ultimately drive more business aviation traffic to the airport,” said Mark Beattie, the airport’s operations director.
Domestically the company added three new venues to its branded dealer network. Southfield Aviation, an FBO at Coeur d’Alene Airport (COE) in Hayden Lake, Idaho, offers oxygen service, hangars, maintenance, pilot supplies and on-site rental cars. The mining industry brings many business aviation clients to the Spokane, Wash.-area airport, while summer homes in the region keep the airport busy from May through October.
