Register to view this On-Demand Webinar (recorded 12th March 2026) to see how aFuel, the digital fueling solution and largest worldwide fueling network, is transforming aircraft fueling processes. As used by airlines such as Lufthansa, SWISS, Cathay Pacific, Condor, Finnair, SunExpress and more, you will see how the aFuel solution, from Information Design, seamlessly connects airlines with into-plane agents (40+ agents at 300+ airlines worldwide) to digitize the end-to-end fueling process. Via a system demo, the aFuel team will take you through a typical flight, from when the pilot sends a fuel order, via the EFB device, to the into-plane agent who accepts the order and assigns a fuel truck, through to when the digital fuel slip is sent to the pilot, then to the pilot signing the fuel slip with an eSignature. As you will see, throughout the process the system sends the pilot real-time updates on each key milestone – right down to confirmation that the fuel hose has been disconnected. In this session, the aFuel team will shift from abstract metrics to real-world examples, showcasing how leading airlines are using aFuel in their daily operations. You’ll hear how carriers have cut fueling-related delays by simplifying cockpit workflows, how fuel departments have accelerated invoicing and removed manual data handling, and how digital communication between pilots, dispatch, and into-plane teams has made pre-flight routines smoother than ever. The aFuel team will also highlight concrete implementation stories that demonstrate how quickly and easily aFuel can be introduced – whether through the ready-to-deploy EFB app or by integrating directly into an airline’s existing IT landscape. Together, these case studies illustrate how aFuel enables seamless automation and brings meaningful, operational impact from day one.

Additionally, you will hear how the real-time data generated within aFuel, allows airlines to create a digital twin of every single fueling process to monitor and optimize performance across their network; as well as a look at future developments covering functional, technical, and regulatory features. In aviation, every minute counts, every litre matters but paper-based fueling processes are time-consuming and error-prone making communication between cockpit, ground staff and fuel providers difficult and slow. The Webinar will show how aFuel transforms the fuel process to provide airlines with the digital tools to overcome these challenges.

The Webinar is divided into the following 5 key sections:

• Current Fueling Challenges; The Uber Network Effect: Transforming Aircraft Fueling
  The Webinar begins with an outline of how the network effect, similar to ride-hailing apps like Uber, can streamline and digitalize aircraft fueling processes. The aviation industry faces numerous challenges including fragmented supplier landscapes, with airlines often having a different fuel supplier and into-plane agent at each airport, and suppliers using inconsistent data standards. You will see how aFuel’s central platform can solve these issues, enhancing efficiency and data quality through utilizing IATA’s AIDX data standard. The aFuel team will dive into the specifics of how a central digital entity facilitates seamless communication, increases leverage for airlines, and establishes common standards, making the fueling process faster, more robust, and more reliable.
  
  
• aFuel Product Overview and Presentation
  Next, the aFuel team will take you on a tour of aFuel, the world’s largest digital fueling network, now operational at 300+ airports worldwide, with a flight every five minutes being fueled via aFuel, highlighting its widespread adoption and reliability. This segment will detail the comprehensive capabilities of aFuel, including how it connects airlines with into-plane agents, ensuring faster turnarounds, reducing delay minutes by at least 75%, and offering significant tankering savings through pre-communication features. You will see how aFuel’s robust data quality streamlines invoicing and emission reporting, reducing the need for manual data entry and ensuring precise, real-time information.
  
  
• aFuel Demo and Integration Option #1 – Full Scale Integration
  Next, you will find out how aFuel can seamlessly integrate with existing IT and process landscapes. This section will cover the full-scale integration approach, where aFuel works closely with airlines to align their systems with aFuel’s digital standards. You will learn about the adjustments and benefits, ensuring a smooth transition to digital fueling operations, resulting in a unified, efficient process that enhances overall performance.
  
  
• aFuel Demo and Integration Option #2 – aFuel Cockpit – EFB App
  Next, you will experience the ease of using the aFuel Cockpit App, the fast-track integration option that requires no adjustments to existing systems. This app guides pilots through the entire fueling process on their Electronic Flight Bag (EFB). Downloadable from the App Store or Google Play Store, the aFuel Cockpit App simplifies operations and accelerates adoption. You will see a live demo of the app in action, illustrating how it provides a seamless digital experience, enhancing efficiency and reducing the operational workload.  The demo will follow the process of a typical flight from when the pilot sends a fuel order, via the EFB device, to the into-plane agent who accepts the order and assigns a fuel truck, through to when the digital fuel slip is sent to the pilot, then right up to the pilot signing the fuel slip with an eSignature, the system sends the pilot real-time progress updates on each step in the process such as when the fuel hose has been disconnected.
  
  
• aFuel Product Future Developments and Roadmap
  Lastly, you will also get a preview of what’s coming next for aFuel. The future development pipeline follows three dedicated streams: functional, technical, and regulatory. On the functional side, Information Design is expanding the global aFuel network and strengthening the ecosystem of technology partners to increase coverage and accelerate adoption worldwide. From a technical perspective, you will be introduced to aFuel Live Status — a real-time KPI dashboard that provides high-level performance insights at a glance and can be further customized for airlines that want deeper operational or analytical views. And on the regulatory side, the aFuel team are working closely with customers to help them meet evolving requirements such as ReFuelEU and new reporting standards and are actively contributing to the IATA Fuel Data Standard Group, shaping the industry standards for digital fueling and ensuring that aFuel remains fully aligned with future regulatory and data-sharing needs.

About the Aircraft IT Webinar Series:

Every 2 weeks the Aircraft IT website hosts a different live Webinar, each Webinar hosted by a different IT Vendor. These sessions represent the perfect opportunity to learn about a software solution in a more informal manner and to quickly gain an in-depth knowledge of all the major systems on the market, all from the comfort of your own office or home with no sales pressure.

The IT vendor provides a live software demonstration/masterclass of their solution and explains how it can benefit airlines, MROs, Operators, OEMs, Leasing Companies. Once logged on, online delegates can ask questions via the interactive sections of the Webinar or simply sit back and watch and listen to the demonstration. There are two sessions during the day, each differently times to accommodate all time zones.

Each Webinar session is recorded, and an On-Demand version is then posted back to the Aircraft IT website a few days after the live session to allow you to view the content again with your colleagues. The library of On-Demand Webinar recordings provides an invaluable reference source of Flight Operations software demonstrations from the World’s leading Flight Operations IT Vendors.
