Navigating the Unique DTW Operational Environment

Efficient fuel planning must account for gate assignments, potential for long taxi times, and Michigan’s seasonal weather extremes, which can impact ground service schedules.

Building a Resilient Fuel Supply Network
Our strength at DTW lies in our diversified approach. We maintain relationships with multiple approved fuel suppliers and major vendors across the airport. This isn’t about using many sources for the sake of it; it’s a deliberate strategy to build resilience and value for your operation:
Mitigated Supply Risk: Protects your schedule from being impacted by a single supplier’s logistical issue.
Cost-Effective Sourcing: We leverage our aggregate volume to negotiate competitive pricing, passing the advantages on to you.
Operational Agility: Enables us to source fuel from the most practical location relative to your aircraft’s position, whether at the midfield McNamara Terminal or the North Terminal.
Comprehensive End-to-End Service Management
We manage your entire fueling process from start to finish. Once we receive your request, we handle order placement, coordinate in real-time with the fuel service provider, and confirm delivery and quantity.
We act as your single point of contact, streamlining communication between your crew, the fueler, and ground handler.
This end-to-end management removes complexity from your team’s plate, ensuring nothing is overlooked and allowing you to focus on other critical aspects of your flight operation at DTW.
Integrated Support for Streamlined Turnarounds
Fueling is one key component of a successful airport stop. Our real value shines when we integrate it with your other service needs.
If we’re also managing your ground handling, crew transport, or permits at DTW, we synchronize the fuel request within the master turnaround plan.
This holistic approach prevents delays caused by uncoordinated services—like a loaded aircraft waiting for fuel, or a fuel truck blocked by ground service equipment. The result is a smoother, more predictable, and efficient operation.
Transparent and Detailed Billing Practices
We believe in straightforward, honest partnerships. You will receive clear, itemized invoices for every fuel transaction at DTW.
Our documentation details the base fuel price, all applicable taxes and Michigan fees, airport-specific charges, and the into-plane service cost.
This transparency provides you with an accurate financial record for accounting and auditing, and valuable data to analyze and manage your fuel expenses at this key hub.
