2. Executive Company Overview

Avfuel Corporation is a privately held aviation fuel and aviation-services company headquartered in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Established in 1973 as a regional fuel supply and logistics business, Avfuel supplies aviation fuel and related services across a worldwide network serving FBOs, corporate flight departments, airlines, charter and commercial operators, helicopter operators, cargo carriers, government and military customers, and other aviation organizations. The company’s current corporate information reports more than 6,000 aviation customers, more than 3,500 worldwide fueling locations and more than 720 Avfuel-branded FBOs.

Fuel distribution remains at the center of Avfuel’s business model, but the organization has developed a considerably broader aviation-services ecosystem. Its capabilities include bulk and contract fuel, retail fuel programs, international fuel services, sustainable aviation fuel, fuel logistics, fuel quality assurance, fuel cards and transaction processing, FBO branding and support, flight planning and international trip support, aviation insurance, fuel storage and refueling equipment, equipment leasing, fuel-management programs and aviation safety training.

The company has been controlled by Craig R. Sincock since his acquisition of Avfuel in 1985. In January 2026, Avfuel named second-generation family executive C.R. Sincock, II as president while Craig Sincock remained chairman and chief executive officer. The leadership transition illustrates the company’s continuing family-owned structure while separating the president’s operating role from the chairman and CEO position.

For business aviation, Avfuel is particularly relevant because its infrastructure connects aircraft operators with fuel purchasing, FBOs, trip planning, sustainability solutions, payment programs and operational support through a single aviation-focused corporate ecosystem.

City: Ann Arbor

Full Headquarters Address:
47 West Ellsworth
Ann Arbor, MI 48108
United States

Additional Offices: Avfuel maintains personnel and business operations outside Ann Arbor, but a definitive current consolidated list of all corporate offices was not identified in reviewed primary sources.

Countries Served: Multiple countries worldwide; exact total not publicly disclosed.

Regions Served: North America, Europe and other international markets through Avfuel’s fuel and contract-fuel network.

Airports Served: More than 3,500 fueling locations worldwide are currently reported by Avfuel. This figure represents network locations and should not be interpreted as wholly owned airport facilities.

ICAO Codes: Not applicable at corporate level

IATA Codes: Not applicable at corporate level

Operational Scope: Global

Avfuel-branded FBOs are independently operated facilities using Avfuel fuel, branding, programs or related business solutions. Therefore, the branded FBO count should not be interpreted as Avfuel owning or operating more than 720 FBOs.

7. Aircraft Expertise

Avfuel is not an aircraft manufacturer, brokerage, charter fleet owner or aircraft-management company in the conventional sense. Its aircraft relevance is therefore primarily fuel- and operator-based rather than model-specific.

Aircraft Categories Supported

Through its customer base and fueling network, Avfuel supports aviation activity involving:

  • Business jets
  • Turboprops
  • General aviation aircraft
  • Commercial aircraft
  • Cargo aircraft
  • Helicopters
  • Military aircraft

No evidence supports classifying Avfuel as specializing commercially in one specific business-jet class.

Manufacturer Relationships

Avfuel has documented SAF relationships or fuel-supply activities involving major manufacturers including:

Textron Aviation
Avfuel began supplying sustainable aviation fuel to Textron Aviation in Wichita for new-aircraft delivery fuel and demonstration operations.

Bell Textron
Avfuel established ongoing SAF supply for Bell Training Academy and customer demonstration fleet operations.

Embraer
Avfuel and Embraer established SAF supply at Melbourne Orlando International Airport. Their arrangement was expanded in 2024 to approximately one truckload per week, with an anticipated 240,000 US gallons supplied during that year.

Dassault Falcon Jet

Avfuel has supplied SAF supporting Dassault flight activity associated with EBACE.

Aircraft Models

Specific aircraft-model expertise is not a meaningful component of Avfuel’s documented business model and no model taxonomy is recommended.

8. Fleet Information

Total Fleet Size: Not applicable as a core company metric

Owned Aircraft: Not publicly disclosed in current corporate material reviewed

Managed Aircraft: Not applicable

Charter Aircraft: Not applicable

Aircraft Categories: Not applicable as a fleet operator

Average Fleet Age: Not applicable

Fleet Geographic Distribution: Not applicable

Avfuel should not be classified as an aircraft charter or management operator solely because its services support aircraft operators.

Employee Count: LinkedIn categorizes Avfuel Corporation at 201 to 500 employees, while Avfuel’s 2023 anniversary narrative referred to an organization with more than 1,000 employees. Different corporate scopes may explain the discrepancy.

Acquisition Year: Current Avfuel material repeatedly identifies Craig Sincock’s acquisition as occurring in 1985. Some older third-party material has cited 1983. PrivateJetia should use 1985 unless documentary corporate records establish otherwise.

Branded FBO Count: Historical Avfuel releases show 675+ branded FBOs in 2023 to early 2025 and 700+ during 2025. Current 2026 corporate material reports 720+, which is therefore the preferred current figure.

PrivateJetia Editorial Assessment: Avfuel should primarily be classified as a Private Jet Services / Aviation Fuel Services company rather than as an FBO operator, charter company or aircraft-management company. Its strategic relevance to PrivateJetia comes from its large global fueling network, contract-fuel infrastructure, branded FBO relationships, sustainable aviation fuel distribution, trip support, aviation insurance, fuel equipment and aviation-operational support ecosystem.
