Fuel Suppliers

Who sells the Jet A and 100LL, and what comes with the flag: branded FBO networks, contract-fuel cards, pilot rewards, SAF and unleaded avgas, QC training, refueler leasing — plus the regional distributors and the Alaska bush suppliers.

An FBO's fuel supplier is rarely just a fuel supplier. The four national branded networks — Avfuel (720+ branded FBOs), TITAN Aviation Fuels (675+), Phillips 66 Aviation (800+ branded locations, and the only refiner in the branded space) and World Fuel (the World Fuel and Phillips 66 flags plus the Air Elite tier) — each arrive with a contract-fuel program that routes operator volume to the ramp, a pilot-rewards scheme, line-service training that satisfies FAR 139.321 and AC 150/5230-4, refueler leasing, insurance and a point-of-sale or FBO software tie-in. Choosing a flag is choosing that whole bundle, which is why the compare page lays the programs side by side.

Around the networks sit three other kinds of supplier. Contract-fuel and card programs (AEG Fuels, Everest Fuel, Mercury Fuels, Air bp's Sterling card, and the World Fuel Contract and AVCARD programs) sell to operators and settle with the FBO; for a ramp they are a source of transient volume and a processing-fee question, not a supply contract. Regional distributors (Allstar Fuel in Texas, Best Oil and Waterford Oil in Minnesota, Crowley Fuels and Delta Western across Alaska) truck branded or unbranded Jet A and 100LL to smaller fields the national trucks don't reach. And upstream producers — Sunoco LP for avgas, the oil majors for jet — mostly sell to those distributors rather than to FBOs directly.

Two fuels are changing in 2026. Sustainable aviation fuel is physically available at a few dozen US airports through Avfuel and World Fuel and everywhere else through book-and-claim certificates; the networks list the airports, so ask for the current map. Unleaded avgas is further along than most ramps assume: Swift Fuels' UL94 has shipped since 2015 and its 100R since 2025, GAMI's G100UL is commercially available through Vitol Aviation, and every one of them needs its own tank — the FAA's transition plan targets 2030, so the decision for an FBO is tank space and STC coverage on the local fleet, not whether. Every claim on this page comes from the supplier's own site on the date shown on its listing; a dot on the compare page means the supplier doesn't publish it.

Questions about fuel suppliers

What does an FBO actually get from a branded fuel network?
Supply of Jet A and avgas under the brand's quality-control program, the brand on the sign and the trucks, acceptance of that network's contract-fuel card and pilot-rewards program (which steers transient volume to branded ramps), line-service and supervisor training that meets FAR 139.321 and AC 150/5230-4, refueler lease or lease-to-own options, marketing support, and usually a point-of-sale or FBO software option. Avfuel adds Avsurance insurance, Avlease equipment leasing and the Avfuel Hub POS; TITAN adds TITAN Aerospace Insurance, TITAN University and Atlas FBO software; Phillips 66 adds $50M excess liability for branded dealers, the Aviation Excellence Incentive fund and a menu of EPOS devices; World Fuel adds avPOS, Connected Truck meter capture and the Air Elite tier.
How do contract fuel programs work, and what does the FBO pay?
The operator buys fuel at a negotiated price through the program (Avfuel Pro Card, TITAN Contract Fuel+, Phillips 66 Contract Fuel, World Fuel Contract, AEG Carnet, Everest, Mercury Fuels); the FBO pumps it and is paid by the program rather than the pilot. Terms differ: Phillips 66 says it takes the card risk and fees and reimburses the FBO within one to two days with no cards or releases needed; World Fuel Contract charges merchants a 0% processing rate and removes fuel releases, while its AVCARD lets the FBO choose payment timing from 2 to 28 business days with fees by timing; AEG says no processing fees to the FBO; Everest pays the fuel supplier directly and builds its per-gallon fee into the operator's price. Read the merchant agreement — the spread between program price and posted retail is the FBO's to manage.
Which networks have pilot loyalty programs?
Avfuel AVTRIP (2–3 points per gallon by tier, $25 per 5,000 points, points never expire, 525+ participating FBOs), TITAN Rewards (1 point per gallon at participating TITAN locations plus 1 per $10 on the Multi Service Aviation card, redeemed as Visa gift cards), Phillips 66 WingPoints (double points with the Aviation card), World Fuel Rewards (Blue, Silver, Diamond and Diamond Elite tiers; FBOs can run bonus-point promotions) and AEG Rewards (double points at AEG Connect FBOs). For an FBO they are the reason a transient aircraft picks one ramp over the one across the field.
Where can an FBO get sustainable aviation fuel?
Physically, from the networks that have put SAF into their terminals: Avfuel lists 58 locations across the US, UK and EU (supplied through terminals including Dallas, Port Everglades, Linden NJ, Pasadena TX and Denver, with Neste as a producer partner), World Fuel reports more than 120 million gallons delivered since 2015 with World Energy, Valero and Neste as distribution partners, and AEG markets SAF at over 20 airports. Everywhere else the answer is book-and-claim — SAF certificates sold through AvfuelZero, World Fuel's myWorld Decarbonize, Phillips 66 or AEG's program — which lets a customer claim the emissions reduction without the physical blend at that field. Phillips 66 produces SAF at its Rodeo Renewable Energy Complex.
What's the status of unleaded avgas, and who sells it?
Three products exist. Swift Fuels UL94 (ASTM D7547) has been produced in Indiana since 2015, is sold direct from Swift's order form and distributed by Avfuel, and needs an STC on the aircraft; Swift's 100R (ASTM D8603) has been commercially available since September 2025 with a 2027 target of 300+ airfields. GAMI's G100UL is offered to any US airport or distributor by Vitol Aviation and is currently at a handful of California, Mississippi and Texas airports. Phillips 66 and Air bp say they are developing or supplying unleaded grades (Air bp's UL91 is in Europe). The FAA's Transition Plan to Unleaded Aviation Gasoline (published August 2026) targets 2030; the practical FBO question is tank space, because every unleaded grade must be stored separately from 100LL.
Which suppliers also provide line-service training and quality-control inspections?
Avfuel Training (Line Service Fuel Safety and the Part 139-approved Supervisory Fuel Safety course, plus free QA seminars for network FBOs), TITAN University (AC 150/5230-4-accepted Line Service Fuel Safety and Line Service Supervisor, in-person Fuel Safety Supervisor and Train-the-Trainer four times a year, regional QC seminars), Phillips 66 (TrustedFuel.com portal, hands-on training ten times a year, site inspections within 90 days of branding and every two years after, the Safe Sky Award) and World Fuel (NATA Safety 1st line-service training, IS-BAH assistance, JIG-compliant fuel training). Everest's S.A.F.E. program is different: it inspects FBOs on a 200-point checklist so its operator customers can meet Part 91K and 135 fuel-quality supervision requirements.
Is Shell, Exxon or Chevron fuel still available at US FBOs under those brands?
Not as a current branded-FBO program on those companies' own sites. Shell Aviation's US pages today cover AeroShell lubricants, SAF and its Fuel&Fly and Carnet cards, with no US general-aviation network stated; ExxonMobil's US distributors listed on its site are for Mobil Jet lubricants (Boeing Distribution and Sky Mart), with 100LL and jet fuel offered through direct contact; Chevron describes itself as a major supplier of jet and aviation fuel to airlines, resellers and the military with no dealer program. Branded supply at US FBOs today runs through Avfuel, TITAN, Phillips 66 and World Fuel, and through regional distributors who may truck a major's product under contract.
How do regional distributors and the Alaska suppliers fit in?
They cover the fields the national networks' trucks don't. Allstar Fuel delivers Phillips 66-branded and unbranded avgas and Jet A across north-central and west Texas and the Panhandle; Best Oil (Cloquet, MN) delivers Phillips 66-branded or unbranded 100LL and Jet A, with split loads; Waterford Oil (Northfield, MN) supplies avgas, Jet A, additives and aviation lubricants across the upper Midwest. In Alaska, Crowley Fuels runs 24-hour cardlocks at Merrill Field, Lake Hood, Fairbanks, Kenai, Wasilla and Willow with into-wing and bulk delivery to bush airports and seaplane docks, and Delta Western (a Saltchuk company) supplies jet fuel and avgas from terminals from Prudhoe Bay to Ketchikan with into-wing at Bethel and Dutch Harbor.
