CRAIG AIR CENTER (CAC) BECOMES AVFUEL-BRANDED DEALER

ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN/ AVFUEL INDUSTRY NEWS/ Craig Air Center (CAC), of Jacksonville, Florida, has joined the nationwide network of Avfuel-branded dealers.  Based at Craig Municipal Airport (CRG), the newest member of the Avfuel family offers Avfuel Contract Fuel for less-than-retail prices on jet fuel purchases, and participates in the AVTRIP Program, whereby pilots receive valuable AVTRIP Points each time they refuel at participating dealers.  Over time, Points accumulate toward United States Savings Bonds.
