The Challenge
Fuel is the largest controllable cost on most sectors, yet tankering is decided on stale price sheets and rules of thumb. It persists because contracts, flight plans and burn records sit with three teams.
How It Works
- Reads fuel contracts and station prices, flight plans, payload forecasts and burn per tail.
- Works out breakeven tankering per sector against extra burn, carbon cost and handling fees.
- Delivers the recommended uplift per sector to the dispatcher inside the flight planning step.
What It Removes
- Spreadsheet tankering checks per station each morning
- Rule-of-thumb uplift decisions by each dispatcher
- Month-end reconciling of planned against actual burn
Input Data RequirementsFuel contracts and station price feeds, flight plans, payload and load-sheet data, per-tail burn history, carbon scheme pricing, handling fees
Output FormatPer-sector uplift recommendation with the breakeven shown, plus a monthly fuel saving and emissions report by station
“Half our stations are priced off a sheet from last month and we tanker on habit rather than numbers”
