Anchorage, Alaska-based Crowley Fuels—which currently operates 15 public aviation fuel terminals in the state as well as a fuel terminal network with a storage capacity of nearly 30 million gallons of jet-A and avgas—has acquired the aviation fueling assets of fellow Alaskan provider Ace Fuels. The purchase includes the company’s FBO and 24-hour card lock self-service pumps at Merrill Field in Anchorage, as well as other facilities at Merrill Field Strip, Lake Hood Seaplane Base and Fairbanks International, Willow and Wasilla Airports.

The locations will eventually be rebranded as Crowley facilities. Crowley has been in business since 1953. “Ace Fuels and Crowley have similar cultures and values emphasizing safety, environmental protection and customer service,” said Crowley vice president Bob Cox. “Our goal is to provide a seamless transition and to continue the tradition of providing high-quality aviation fuels.”
