Crowley installs automated system at McGrath airport

Crowley’s Alaska fuel sales and distribution group has unveiled McGrath airport’s first aviation fuel card lock system, offering pilots the convenience of 24-hour refueling services at one of the region’s busiest airfields. The implementation of the new, fully automated system means that aviators can access Crowley fuel pumps with the swipe of a credit card or proprietary card the same way that drivers would at a local gas station. Moreover, the easy-to-use system eliminates extra fees previously associated with after-hours transactions.

McGrath Airport is popular amongst pilots flying across the state because of its central location. Before Crowley installed the card lock system aviators had to complete their fuel purchase during regular business hours or arrange to have a Crowley employee meet them at the airport. Now, automated sales transactions save pilots time and money.

“The 24-hour availability of our top-quality jet fuel and avgas was something that our customers had been asking about for a while now,” said Sean Thomas, Crowley vice president. “Not only are pilots able to access Crowley fuel around the clock with the card lock system now in place, they’re paying less for that convenience.”

Crowley’s card lock refueling pumps are located at the McGrath airport on the tarmac east of Runway 25, directly in front of Crowley’s office. Call 907-524-3019 for more information.
