Phillips 66 Aviation expanded its contract fuel program, Partners-Into-Plane, to allow Part 91 corporate and all Part 135 charter operators to participate, the company announced today. It previously was available only to Part 121 and 125 operators, as well as Part 135 cargo, air ambulance and scheduled passenger operations.

Building on its existing platform, the program does not require fuel releases or contract fuel cards for processing, which streamlines the process. Partners-Into-Plane is currently available at 200 FBOs in the U.S., and the program has more than 300 participating members, including major and regional passenger and cargo airlines, air ambulance, fire fighting and other specialty operators.

“In response to overwhelming feedback, we are making this program enhancement available to all flight operators,” said Phillips 66 Aviation manager for general aviation Greg Hart. Phillips 66 Aviation’s Partners-Into-Plane Program is in its 40th year offering contract fuel, which the company claims is the longest active contract fuel program offered by any U.S. refiner. The company said that FBOs participating in its contract fuel program are never charged processing fees and, on average, are reimbursed electronically within 48 hours.
