EVA International / Autumn 2017 - Fuel is a fundamental requirement, regardless of aircraft mission, origin or destination. Its provision involves a complex industry, branching out to include the obvious – pipelines, bowsers and brokers – and less so– loyalty programmes, trip support and training. 

Headquartered at Ann Arbor, Michigan, Avfuel is among the industry’s major fuel players as Joel Hirst, Vice President of Sales, explains: “We’re involved in fuel supply distribution from refinery to wingtip. This means we touch the aviation fuel supply infrastructure from the moment the fuel leaves the refinery, tot he moment it's pumped into the aircraft."
