Air bp strengthens regional footprint with expansion of safe2go fuel data platform to 18 airports in Greece

Air bp strengthens regional footprint with expansion of safe2go fuel data platform to 18 airports in Greece.
The Air bp safe2go fuel data platform has been developed by the company with its expertise and understanding of the needs of fuel operators and their customers.

The Air bp safe2go fuel data platform consists of several digital solutions that provide efficiencies to the refueling process, both on the ground and at the back office.

Air bp, the international aviation fuel products and services supplier, is expanding the reach of its innovative safe2go fuel data platform (previously known as Airfield Automation) by marketing it to fuel operators at non-Air bp operated locations. The safe2go fuel data platform consists of several digital solutions that provide efficiencies to the refueling process, both on the ground and at the back office. The platform includes a safe2go fuelling app, and a bp patented misfuel prevention technology to help significantly reduce the risk of in-plane misfuelling. 

Air bp’s proprietary safe2go fuel data platform has been deployed at 18 airports in Greece via Greek into-plane service and storage company, GISSCO. GISSCO was founded in 2004 and is a JV including bp Hellenic and Shell – Motor Oil Aviation. GISSCO also represents the largest fuel ground handling company in Greece and refuels more than 60,000 flights to destinations worldwide per year. 

This challenging but successful deployment took less than six months, and close collaboration with GISSCO supported it in record time. Air bp will continue to progress its expansion with new customers around the globe. 

Elida Cavic, vice president aviation, South Europe, Middle East & Africa, Air bp said, “We are pleased to be expanding the reach of our technology and are delighted to announce GISSCO as our new customer joining the growing number of locations who are able to benefit from the solution. The safe2go fuel data platform, and safe2go fuelling app – provides both an engineering barrier to actively help prevent misfuelling and enhanced efficiency and reliability in refuelling operations. Any fuel operator can use this technology as a cost-effective solution when digitising their fuelling operations and we would be delighted to work with them.”  

The Air bp safe2go fuel data platform has been developed by the company with its expertise and understanding of the needs of fuel operators and their customers. The platform works via a ‘safe2go’ app on a handheld device in fuelling vehicles. The app consolidates data on airport fuelling operations, verifies fuelling requirements and captures an acknowledging signature from the pilot or airline representative. Aside from the enhanced safety barrier, operators benefit from faster, more comprehensive, and more accurate fuelling as well as data delivery.

In October 2022, Air bp surpassed its 630,000th overwing fuelling through its sfe2go fuelling app misfuel prevention technology. The safe2go fuel data platform was first rolled out in 2018 and is currently deployed at more than 592 locations in 44 countries around the world. Since launching, over 3.7 million fuelling does in total have been processed using the technology.
