CASE STUDY

Airline Fuel Management
The fuel committee of a consortium of airlines operating at a major US airport with over 2,000 departures daily, engaged Trindent to evaluate the airport’s fuel management practices due to significant inventory write-downs caused by both physical and accounting losses.
