Amid the recent announcements of major fuel companies withdrawing from the general-aviation arena, independent fuel provider Avfuel continues to see growth and opportunity in the market. Over the past year, the Ann Arbor, Mich.-based company has added 57 new FBOs to its network, bringing its total to well over 600 locations nationwide.
As its name would suggest, Avfuel (Booth No. N5121) is an aviation fuel distributor and serves virtually all segments of the industry, including airlines and military and cargo operators, as well as FBOs and corporate flight departments. According to Joel Hirst, the company’s eastern vice president of sales, Avfuel currently supplies approximately 22 percent of the GA fuel supply in the U.S. “When we look at our branded dealer network, we’ve got pretty nice coverage [across] the country,” Hirst told AIN. “We can compete with anybody in any region in the [United] States.”
