About Us
The JFD Story
JetFuel Direct was founded to replace Europe’s reseller-dominated fuelling maze with a transparent, data-driven marketplace that links suppliers straight to business-aviation operators by fall of 2025. By exposing live, line-item pricing and settling funds within 48 hours, the platform repatriates margin to suppliers, cost certainty to operators, and time to everyone on the ramp.
Built and run by a team that has modernised global fuel programmes and aviation software, JFD embodies accountability, transparency, ease of use, and efficiency – proving that when every uplift is direct and honest, profitability follows.
Mission
Empower every bizav fueling transaction to be direct, transparent, and fairly priced.
Vision
Redefine the global bizav fuel market through an open, data-driven marketplace that repatriates margins to fuel suppliers and allows dynamic supply and demand.
JetFuel Direct is Europe’s first marketplace linking fuel suppliers straight to business-aviation operators with zero intermediaries.
