Fuel Management

AirTrav provides fuel management consulting to the global aviation sector. We also conduct fuel management support for maritime, pipeline, and roadhaul operators. In late 2009, AirTrav helped with investment exit search for a Canadian firm that resulted in an acquisition by GE Aviation, which ultimate became GE’s Fuel & Carbon Solutions division.

In July 2026, AirTrav launched Jet Fuel Management (JFM), a strategic alliance initiative with Jet-A, Inc., our aviation fuel infrastructure partner based in California. With JFM, our two companies offer a 360-degree view of fuel management, with solutions ranging from procurement, hedging, forecasting, supply chain and compliance, to airport fuel master planning and infrastructure including fuel farms, distribution, and hydrant systems.
