Global aviation fuel supplier Air BP and RocketRoute have developed an app that streamlines the fuel purchasing process for general aviation aircraft operators. Available for iOS and Android devices, the free RocketRoute Fuel App provides online access to a worldwide network of aviation fuel locations and payment methods, and allows users to purchase carbon emissions offsets. The program is for “anyone with a fuel requirement, not just current Air BP customers.”
Once they complete the app registration process, users can request, plan and purchase fuel at any one of Air BP’s more than 800 locations. A simplified payment process allows all customers to pay with either an Air BP Sterling Card or a major credit card. Existing Air BP customers can also access their own personal accounts.
The carbon offsetting feature, which is managed by the company’s non-profit BP Target Neutral arm, allows customers to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions footprint via carbon credits that support low-carbon development projects. Carbon credits will be freeofcharge until year-end; after that, customers will need to pay for them.
According to the companies, this app is the first in a collection of trip-planning applications that will be added to the RocketRoute platform. In April, Air BP acquired a stake in RocketRoute.
