Fuel Your FBO’s Future With Phillips 66

Phillips 66 has led innovation in the aviation fuel industry for nearly a century.

In the 1940s, we developed 100-octane fuel for military aircraft. Since then, we have developed an anti-icing fuel additive that allows planes to ascend to new heights. Now, we have our sights set on the future of aviation: We’re outfitting our Rodeo Refinery to refine sustainable aviation fuel.

We’ve built the largest network of branded FBOs during our time in the aviation industry. We understand their challenges, and we’ve engineered solutions that help FBOs grow. Joining our team means access to the solutions you need to help your FBO take off.

Commitment to Quality Control and Training

We’ve set the standard and upheld quality on the ground and in the sky. Our quality assurance programs and training initiatives ensure that our FBOs service aircraft, pilots, and passengers without compromising the standards that keep pilots safe and save them time. So, when people see our shield from the cabin or the cockpit, they know they can expect quality, care, and a well-trained team who is ready to get them fueled up and back in the air.

We demonstrate our commitment to safety by providing industry-leading site inspections. You can expect inspections at this periodicity:

Within 90 days of branding with us, we will inspect your station
Every two years, we will reinspect your station
Every three years, we will inspect and reinspect jet fuel and avgas terminals

To promote best-in-class safety standards throughout our FBO network, we established the Sky Safe Award, which recognizes FBOs that set the standard in fuel safety practices, innovation and leadership.

Quality Control and Training Resources

As a Phillips 66 Aviation-branded FBO, you’ll have access to our library of quality control and safety training materials to create and inform a culture of safety throughout your FBO. These resources are:

TrustedFuel.com, our training portal where you’ll find industry-leading training videos, how-tos, forms, and other QA materials
No-cost hands-on training: 10 times a year, our team of experts provides training for your staff to attend
Access to NATA Safety 1st and ACE training

But our commitment to quality and safety doesn’t stop there. We have a team of experts on staff who are ready to answer any questions you have about improving the safety of your location — all supported by our devoted research center.

Aviation Fuel Supply That Meets Demand

Not only do we supply branded aviation fuel–we refine it. We’re the only company that does so. In fact, we produce 40% of avgas in the U.S. market. We understand that without fuel, planes can’t take off. While we refine jet fuel at nine locations and avgas at three locations in the United States, we draw on global production resources and reserves to ensure that our FBOs always have access to high-quality aviation fuel, even in the event of supply disruption. Price and freight equalization is included in our branded offering, regardless of the backup source, which includes no markup on freight rates or fuel surcharges.

The Future of Aviation Fuel

While we currently only refine avgas and jet fuel, we’ve recently outfitted our Rodeo Refinery with the capability to refine sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). We’re committed to advancing a lower-carbon environment, and we’re preparing for the energy future with our customers. Doing so means that we’re preparing to supply branded FBOs with any fuel their pilots request for a future-forward fuel option.

Attract More Pilots and Watch Your Business Take Off

Everyone knows our brand, which incentivizes consumers to establish brand loyalty when choosing aviation fuel. We have numerous contract fuel and credit card program participants ready to fuel up within our branded network of FBOs. This means you will have hundreds of tail numbers scheduling flights to your airport, ready to fuel up at your FBO. But that number isn’t static–our sales team is in the field working with dispatchers and flight departments to grow the size of our contract fuel and credit card program user base.

CREDIT CARD PROGRAMS

With 0% interest offered on our credit card, pilots and businesses have even more reason to fill up with one of our branded FBOs.

CONTRACT FUEL

Our contract fuel program is also designed to benefit FBOs by reducing the accounting burden our FBOs experience. When contract fuel members fuel up at your FBO, we take the credit card charge risk and fees because they pay us directly. Then, we reimburse you for the fuel purchased and your into-plane fee within one to two days.

Marketing That Drives Growth

Phillips 66 is a well-known brand, synonymous with quality and the American spirit. As part of doing business with us, you will benefit from marketing initiatives tailored to drive demand, boost growth and create loyal customers. Our marketing efforts increase visibility through digital, print social media, and email campaigns, connecting aviators with your FBO.

Leasing and Maintenance Support Options for Aviation Refuelers

Since refueling is at the heart of FBO operations, we offer leasing and lease-to-own options to ensure that our FBOs are always ready to quickly service planes. Our fleet of refuelers available for lease and purchase consists of 1,000-gallon avgas trucks, 3,000-gallon jet fuel trucks, and 5,000-gallon jet fuel trucks. Trucks of larger sizes are available with approval by Phillips 66.

Refueler Maintenance Support

A breakdown shouldn’t bust your budget. We offer our FBO customers comprehensive maintenance plans that cover preventative and corrective maintenance. Even more, our refueler fleet allows us to provide you with loaner refuelers and spares to meet short-term needs, such as when your refueler undergoes repairs.

Keeping your fuel trucks operational helps you build a reputation as a reliable and trustworthy FBO. Because your fuel trucks are one of the first things pilots see, we provide free decal sets to give your fleet a professional and standardized look.

Aviation Excellence Incentive Program

The Aviation Excellence Incentive Program (AEI Program) is a streamlined and simple rewards program designed to support dealers and marketers in promoting the Phillips 66 Aviation brand, safety and fuel quality and elevating the consumer experience at branded FBOs.

How does this program work?

These funds may be used to:

Refresh Phillips 66 Aviation branding
Promote safety and fuel quality
Elevate the consumer experience

We demonstrate our commitment to safety by providing industry-leading site inspections. You can expect inspections at this periodicity:

Within 90 days of branding with us, we will inspect your station
Every two years, we will reinspect your station
Every three years, we will inspect and reinspect jet fuel and avgas terminals

Excess Liability Coverage

Part of being an aviation service provider is taking on calculated risks. To help you mitigate those risks, Phillips 66 Aviation provides our branded dealers with $50 million excess liability insurance coverage. This provides important supplemental coverage over and above your primary insurance policy for certain risks associated with fueling-related incidents. For full details on coverage, exclusions, and how to qualify, contact a Phillips 66 Aviation customer service representative.

Multiple Advanced EPOS To Modernize Your Payment Processing

Seamless payment processing means that your FBO is known for efficiency. Branding with us means you’ll have access to quick-processing electronic point-of-sale devices (EPOS). These EPOS systems can process payment through cloud-based technology, ethernet, phone, Wi-Fi, and cellular channels.

Specifically, we provide branded FBOs with these advanced POS capabilities:

AvPOS
Ingenico Desk 3500
Ingenico Move 5000
QT Pod M4000
FuelMaster
FBO360
X-1FBO
Verifone T650 (coming soon)
FBO Director (coming soon)

Multichannel processing equipped with swipe and chip capabilities means you’re ready to fuel aviators, quickly process their payments, and get them prepared to take off again.

How We Give Back to Our Community

Our aviation program has several philanthropic initiatives designed to help pilots give back through a rebate program because behind every aviator is a community that encourages them when flying feels like a lofty dream.

Our efforts support the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Young Eagles program, which helps inspire the next generation of aviators by sharing and spreading enthusiasm for aviation.

Pilots also have the opportunity to support a variety of compassion flight organizations that provides urgent and non-emergent ambulatory flights when commercial flights or ground transportation are not viable.
