ForeFlight has acquired JetFuelX, a free web-based fuel card management service that enables turbine aircraft owners and operators to find the lowest prices available from their jet fuel discount program memberships.

“We are thrilled to announce this exciting addition to ForeFlight. The JetFuelX platform…allows our customers to make timely and cost-effective planning and fuel purchase decisions,” said ForeFlight co-founder and CEO Tyson Weihs. “The free JetFuelX service helps operators get the most out of participating in fuel contract programs and helps fuel providers and FBOs efficiently distribute pricing data to their members.”

“Our primary focus is to enable owners, operators, and flight departments to take full advantage of the tremendous cost savings available in purchasing fuel,” says Jason Talley, JetFuelX founder. “JetFuelX turns a time-consuming and cumbersome process into an elegant and easy-to-use solution that is accomplished in seconds. We are really excited to join the ForeFlight team and continue to expand our services.”

With JetFuelX, users can manage unlimited fuel card memberships and aircraft profiles, view jet-A prices available at the planned destination, compare prices in real time with nearby airports and submit fuel releases. A simple search function returns discount pricing information at the planned destination, as well as the nearest airports, in a neatly organized list or interactive map view.
