10 strategies to save fuel

By Janice Wood · March 30, 2010 ·

The National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) has released “Ten Critical Strategies for Long-Term Fuel Savings,” a new white paper that provides a variety of steps for saving on aircraft fuel bills, both in the short-term and long-term.

“NBAA continually seeks ways to help its members minimize costs, and fuel is one of the largest variable costs of operating an aircraft today,” says Mike Nichols, NBAA’s vice president of education, operations & economics. “However, while the price of fuel may be out of your control, there are still tangible steps you can take to keep expenses down.”

Included in the white paper are strategies to compare fuel prices at alternative destination airports and FBOs, calculate aircraft weight for maximum efficiency, determine if you qualify for a fuel discount and more.
