If you’re an aviation professional, you are probably aware of the complexities of airport fueling facilities now that the industry has been altered by the advent of more fuel-efficient aircraft. TRB is hosting a webinar on Wednesday, February 12, 2020, from 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM ET that will outline the business aspects of an airport-operated fueling facility. Presenters will describe inventory management, fuel pricing, and record keeping. They will also discuss the operational and common legal challenges associated with fuel farms, such as using appropriate government documents, fuel farm ownership models, and general best practices.

This webinar draws on research from ACRP Research Report 192: Airport Management Guide for Providing Aircraft Fueling Services, and ACRP Legal Research Digest 28: Operational and Legal Issues with Fuel Farms.
