Delegates are invited to visit the Air BP Booth 500 to see a demonstration of the app first hand.

Launched in October 2016, the RocketRoute Fuel App offers all general aviation operators a new and simple way of buying fuel direct from Air BP, regardless of whether they are a customer or not. It provides intuitive online access to an extensive, global network of aviation fuel locations, convenient payment methods and uniquely, the opportunity to offset carbon emissions through the system interface. Existing Air BP customers also benefit from their specific pricing as well as aircraft and Sterling Card details being visible in the app when they link to their account.

The app is available immediately, free-of-charge from the Apple store for iPhones and iPads, or from the RocketRoute website for all other devices. Once a simple registration process has been completed, users can then request, plan and purchase fuel at any one of Air BP’s 800 plus locations worldwide. Customers can pay with either an Air BP Sterling Card or a regular credit or debit card.

Julio Casas, North America General Aviation DirectorAir BP, comments: “Together with RocketRoute, we are very pleased to announce the iPhone capability for the RocketRoute Fuel App at SDC 2017. It will offer general aviation operators added convenience and flexibility. Since launching, users have reported excellent feedback as they experience an even easier fuel purchasing process. We invite delegates to come to the booth to see for themselves.”

The airport is also promoting a new ‘Try and Fly’ incentive. Customers flying to or from London Oxford to North America direct, will have their landing fees waived and receive 50% off parking for up to a week’s stay.

These promotions, which are valid until the end of 2017, together could save operators thousands of dollars on a transatlantic trip through the United Kingdom particularly for those with large aircraft.
