Tips for Aircraft Operators

TIP: You can request quotes from FBOs at up to three different airports per RFQ. Say, for example, you have the flexibility of going to Teterboro (KTEB) or White Plains (KHPN). You can request quotes from FBOs at both airports. This feature is also helpful when there is only one FBO located at an airport; you can invite FBOs at neighboring airports to submit quotes and compete for your business too.

 

TIP: Wavepilot’s private messaging can be a powerful negotiating tool for aircraft operators. Send messages to FBOs about your specific fuel and service requirements. Ask about special discounts, services, and fee waivers they might consider to earn your business.

 

TIP: Although you can end an RFQ early by accepting a quote at any time, it is preferable to leave an RFQ active until its scheduled end time to encourage FBOs to compete for your business right up to the last minute.

 

TIP: FBOs pay different merchant fees for different credit cards. Use Wavepilot’s private messaging to ask the FBO if they will grant a greater discount if you use a particular payment method to pay for your fuel and services.
