i6 Group Successfully Deploys Real-Time Fuel Management Technology for Boston Logan Consortium
i6 Group, a global pioneer in fuel management technology, has completed the deployment of both hardware and software integrations for BOSFUEL, a consortium of airline operators at Boston Logan International Airport.
The airport fuel supply chain is now connected in real-time through cloud-based software, secure technology, and i6-enabled fuel vehicles and carts. The solution provides BOSFUEL with the most accurate and advanced fuel management platform available - allowing for increased operational efficiencies.
As a member of the BOSFUEL aviation fuel distribution system, JetBlue Airways has fully implemented i6’s offerings at Boston Logan, with plans to expand throughout the airline’s network. The company continues to invest in i6’s success through its venture capital subsidiary, JetBlue Technology Ventures.
“We had a chance to see the i6 systems leveraged in our Boston operation, and we were all very happy to see how satisfied our frontline teams were with the product. The amount of time saved and reduced touchpoints from the automated processes has truly made i6 implementation an easy decision for both our operational and commercial stakeholders, and will ultimately aid in our emissions reporting,” said Michael Brocker, director assistant, treasurer and fuel, JetBlue Airways.
The deployment features i6’s Reconcile6 technology, an IRS-compliant solution for inventory management, reconciliation, loss and gain calculations, and real-time tank insights. This ensures airlines greater visibility, control, and security over fuel stock levels and movements, and represents a crucial next step for the aviation industry in light of the recent disruption and volatility in fuel supply
Reconcile6’s implementation complements the already-installed Fusion6 platform, which provides full remote visibility of ground fueling operations by connecting data from airports to airlines, as well as the existing eHandshake, technology that digitizes the aircraft refueling process. The complete solution now allows BOSFUEL to track the fuel supply chain process in real-time—setting a new standard for North American aviation.
“We’re delighted to announce the successful launch in Boston. This is a huge milestone for us and we look forward to welcoming many other airlines and the U.S. airport consortiums onto our platform,” said Steve Uhrmacher, CEO, i6 Group
These innovative solutions allow i6 Group to solidify its position as the preferred partner for digitization across airlines, airports, and into-plane operators. Their approach puts stakeholders at the heart of their growing product ecosystem, offering frictionless collaboration between separate organizations. As the aviation industry begins to recover from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and fuel demand and costs increase, i6 offers new ways of using data to improve efficiency, transparency, and sustainability.
