International aviation fuel supplier Air BP and global flight planning business RocketRoute are pleased to announce the launch of their integrated fuel management tool at Aero Friedrichshafen, Germany (April 15-18).

Together both parties aim to provide an easy and efficient means of integrating fuel management into trip planning. This makes life easier for the aviator as information about Air BP’s network and the ability to order fuel is now incorporated into the flight planning process. Air BP and RocketRoute will be on hand this week at the show, Air BP Stand A4-205 and RocketRoute Stand A6-501  to demonstrate to customers first hand how they can benefit from using the system.

Details related to Air BP's worldwide fuel network have been integrated onto RocketRoute’s platform, enabling end users, including private pilots, corporate pilots, and flight departments, to access all information relating to fuel uptake when formulating their overall flight plan. This collaboration increases efficiency for customers, saves time and improves the overall customer experience. RocketRoute is available as a cloud-based information system; pilots with a tablet, laptop or other connected device can access the information wherever they are in the world. Both Air BP and RocketRoute offer 24 hour support to customers further bolstering the service.

"We are delighted to launch this efficient, seamless and time saving tool for the benefit of our customers. We recognise that flight planning can be a complicated and lengthy process for pilots, flight departments and operations teams and Air BP continues to be committed to providing the means to make the aviator's life easier," said Norbert Kamp, Global Sales and Marketing Director, Air BP. "We are pleased to be able to showcase the solution at Aero Friedrichshafen where we can demonstrate to our many customers how integrating with RocketRoute's platform will add great value to the their overall experience."

Following the purchase of Statoil Fuel and Retail Aviation locations, Air BP now supports close to 700 locations worldwide with Sterling Card acceptance, which the RocketRoute system will display. The system demonstrated at Aero Friedsrichafen will represent the first phase of the implementation. It is anticipated further features will be added to the system over the next year.
