aFuel, digital aircraft refueling via a unified platform, is now available at Melbourne International Airport in Australia.

aFuel’s market entry in Melbourne took place in collaboration with into-plane fueling service provider Skytanking.

Airlines such as Cathay Pacific and Finnair, both longterm users of aFuel, can now also refuel digitally at Australia’s second-largest airport.

“Australia is an important market for aFuel, which is why we are delighted that our pioneering platform solution is now also available in Melbourne. Following Perth, Melbourne is the second airport in Australia where aFuel can be used, and we are working hard to further expand our network across the country” Julia Büchner, CEO of Information Design One, explained.

Skytanking uses the aFuel Apron App for digital communication with Cathay Pacific and Finnair.

Prague expansion

A second refueling service provider at Prague Airport in the Czech Republic is now also using aFuel.

At Prague Airport, Information Design One is now also collaborating with Czech Airline Handling, meaning that, following Levorato, this is the second refueling service provider at the site to use aFuel.

The Fuelomat application has been integrated with aFuel. Fuelomat is the IPA dispatch software developed by Novum Global, which is currently in use at Czech Airline Handling.“We have integrated Fuelomat seamlessly into aFuel, just as we have done many times before with similar applications. This flexibility is one of the key strengths of our platform, as it allows all stakeholders to integrate aFuel into their existing IT infrastructure whilst retaining the full scope of functionality. aFuel is the only solution worldwide that makes this possible,” Büchner concluded.

aFuel is a product by Information Design One (IDO), the Frankfurt, Germany-based aviation technology provider that has stated it offers ‘airlines numerous benefits relating to refueling. With aFuel, airlines can, among other things, significantly optimise processes and thereby save costs, as well as drastically reduce refueling-related delays during turnarounds.
