World Fuel Services (Booth 4800) is debuting a new fuel optimization tool, myWorld Tankering calculator, this week at NBAA-BACE in Orlando. It automates tanking calculations to help operators make better fueling decisions over multi-leg trips.
Designed using the company’s experience in millions of flight fuelings and decades of data, the tankering tool provides a savings report giving operators clear direction on where they should uplift fuel to lower their overall trip cost. It takes into account variables—such as fuel price, ramp fees, aircraft type performance metrics, and fuel burn—and tests millions of variations per trip.
Users can enter or upload their trip data from scheduling software platforms to quickly calculate tankering for up to six locations. The calculator uses maps and analytics to give transparency into how the savings are accounted for, and, to further streamline its functionality, users can order fuel directly within the tool. At the show, the company is demonstrating the tankering calculator at its NBAA booth.
“MyWorld Tankering is just one example of how World Fuel leverages our global network to provide customers with the tools they need to run their operation at the highest level,” explained Malcolm Hawkins, World Fuel Services’s senior v-p for business aviation global sales. “We are committed to utilizing our unique global position, technology expertise, and data insights to help our customers accomplish their missions.”
