Avfuel Unveils Avplan, An In-House Flight Planning Company
Avfuel Corporation is set to offer a dedicated flight and
trip-planning subsidiary called Avplan. The company acquired
Pacific Coast Forecasting (PCF) of Van Nuys, CA, in the first
quarter of 2010 to enhance the trip-planning and ground-handling
arrangements that have been its core business.
Adding the option of in-house, professional trip planning will
streamline and enhance Avfuel’s service matrix, allowing for
quality control. Avplan Trip Support provides flight briefing,
weather analysis and comprehensive flight support for international
and domestic flight departments, and provides competitive fuel
rates at over 2,000 locations worldwide.
The company says Avplan is designed several proprietary software
planning tools that keep pilots more informed and therefore safer
during each leg of flight. It also includes an integrated customer
information system (ACIS –Avplan Customer Information System)
to support speed, accuracy, security and intricate details of trip
planning, flight briefings and more. With the new system, planners
have instant access to aircraft and trip data for optimal service
to pilots and passengers, ensuring that each trip goes more
smoothly. The say changes can be made with speed and accuracy, and
built-in are backup and redundancy checks.
“The newly developed Avplan software systems allow Avfuel
to organize and access information with unprecedented ease in order
to support our flight department customers. It’s an
incredible resource at our fingertips,” said Avfuel Director
of Flight Support Mike Wittman. “Avplan not only provides
efficient and personalized international and domestic trip planning
but wherever you are going, Avplan has the resources and the Avfuel
backing to make your entire trip faster, safer and
easier.”
