Aviation information services and software provider ATP has integrated its Flightdocs Operations platform with online fuel marketplace Fuelerlinx. According to ATP, this will result in time savings as operators will no longer have to create duplicate trip itineraries in Fuelerlinx or manually communicate fuel order details to crewmembers.
“Fuelerlinx does an outstanding job solving the problem of connecting fuel buyers to suppliers and we are very excited about our partnership, which helps our mutual customers get even more value from our solutions,” said ATP&nbsp;v-p of product Kent Pickard.
Other benefits will allow operators to automatically sync their aircraft schedules to their Fuelerlinx account for fuel planning and ordering. As fuel orders are created, details are displayed on the trip sheets in Flightdocs Operations, allowing flight department members convenient access to all fuel orders by leg.
“This integration will provide customers with a seamless experience, enabling them to easily manage fuel and scheduling operations from a single platform,” added Fuelerlinx CEO Kevin Moller. “Our joint solution will improve efficiency, reduce costs, and ultimately deliver great value to our customers.”

News and developments about aviation fuel, including jet fuel, aviation gasoline, and biofuel.
