Save Millions of Dollars When You
Cut Taxi Times by 75% and Refuel
at Rickenbacker (LCK)


Every minute that you waste waiting on the taxiway means wasted fuel. The simple fact is that the less time you spend taxiing, the more money you’ll save. LCK can get you to the gate in 5 minutes, only a small fraction of the time you’d spend at JFK or ORD. And refueling at LCK can save you money, too – between $80,000 and $110,000 each time you fill up your plane. So stop waiting. Start saving!

Fuel Savings Equation:

Refueling a 60,000 gallon 747-400
at LCK =  $385,800

Refueling a 60,000 gallon 747-400
at JFK = $493,200

That’s a difference of $107,400 each time you refuel at LCK instead of JFK!

If you refuel at LCK twice per week for a year, you can easily save more than 11 MILLION dollars – and that doesn’t even include the amount of money you’ll save by having shorter taxi times!

The savings don’t stop there! Are you ready for the next survival tip?
