Retail jet-A fuel prices in the U.S. climbed 19.2% last month, according to EFB app and flight planning company iFlightPlanner. This marks an average increase of $1.23 per gallon from February. Full-service 100LL avgas prices were up 5.9%, to $6.80 per gallon, and self-serve climbed 4.7%, to $5.69 per gallon.
The highest average prices last month were in Alaska, with jet-A at $8.96 per gallon and 100LL at $10.41 per gallon, both full-serve pricing. In the lower 48 states, the southern region had the highest average full-service jet-A price at $7.91 per gallon. The greatest increase was in the southwest U.S., with full-serve jet-A climbing 22.5% month over month.
iFlightPlanner’s information is based on retail prices from 3,347 FBOs and fuel service providers in the U.S. For all reported prices, the average age is 6.9 days, and 1,799 FBOs reported pricing information in the past seven days.
Most regions have self-serve jet-A available at some airports, and savings compared to full-serve can be more than $2 per gallon.
