Aviation fuel and operating-cost recovery

Airlines do not lose money on the big decisions. They lose it on the invoice lines nobody reads.

Fuel is 25–30% of an airline's operating cost, and roughly 40% of aviation supplier invoices still arrive as PDF or paper. Billing errors in direct operating cost run at about 1% of spend — a multi-billion dollar pool spread across tens of thousands of lines a year, and almost none of it is ever claimed back.

We audit those lines, prove which were billed wrong, and recover the difference from the supplier. You pay a share of what is actually recovered, and nothing on a finding the supplier rejects.

How an engagement runs

No integration, no migration, no change to how your suppliers bill you. The first step is a document you already have.

01

Send us the paper

One period of supplier invoices and the contracts that govern them. Both arrive as documents; neither requires access to your systems.

02

We audit and quantify

Every line is tested against the contracted rate for that carrier, station and service date, and against the operational record. What cannot be evidenced is not claimed.

03

We file and collect

Findings go to the supplier as a worked claim they can accept, dispute or credit. Our fee attaches to verified recoveries only.

What we cover

Four disciplines that are sold separately elsewhere and share the same two inputs here: the contract, and the operational record.

01live

Invoice & tariff audit

Every supplier line tested against the contracted rate for that carrier, station and service date, and against the operational record. Duplicates, cancelled rotations, inflated uplifts and expired tariffs all surface here.

Fuel & flight-path optimisation

Climb and speed profiles, tankering decisions against station price differentials, and density-corrected uplift checking — the same fuel is billed in litres and flown in kilograms, and the conversion is where errors hide.

03roadmap

Procurement & rate assurance

What you are contracted to pay, against what the market pays at that station. Rate drift, band mismatches and off-tariff surcharges surface before they compound into an audit finding.

04live

Emissions & compliance cost

EU ETS, UK ETS and CORSIA liability reconstructed from actual uplift and route data rather than accepted as invoiced. The obligations are new enough that billing practice is still inconsistent.

Why we start with the invoice

The only discipline with no operational dependency

No integration to start

An audit needs three things: the invoice, the contract and the operational record. The first two arrive as documents. We can produce a number before anyone signs an integration agreement.

Provable to the cent

A duplicate charge is on the supplier's own paper. A cancelled rotation has an operational record that says so. The recovery does not depend on the client believing our model.

Paid from what it finds

The commercial model is a share of verified recoveries. The client risks nothing, and our incentive is aligned to findings that actually collect rather than findings that look large.
