The hints from Air BP are subtle, but I'm getting a gentle hint: Maybe Air BP has lost that loving feeling for GA?

BP colours gone from Bendigo...now Skyfuels swipe card.

Swan Hill was still there a week ago but how much longer?

I requested Air BP to supply me with a carnet on 19th November 2016. (I offered to give them an opportunity to freeze $10,000 on my personal credit card, so that they would be taking zero risks with me buying AVGAS from them.)

There's been no reply from them. So I really do wonder what the future of Air BP in Australia will be? YBHI is an important hub for those of us travelling outback. (Air BP has the monopoly there.) So how's that going to work, into the future?

GA is becoming just a bit too hard. But I have no intention of giving up easily.

Has anyone recently bought AVGAS at YBHI from Air BP? Is a call out now required or has the bowser been fitted with credit card facilities?

          BP still at BHI in August...cost me a surcharge to use the fuel truck's card again.

          Now have a BP card from Sky Fuel.

          Yep, painless to get BP and Worldfuel cards from Skyfuel.

          When I first applied for an account at Air BP they ran a credit check and that is how I found out a competitor was telling the credit rating agencies that they had sued me for unpaid invoices (they have never been one of my suppliers and I have never been sued) So thank you Air BP for uncovering that little gem.

          Anyhoo, is anyone else having trouble with the new global portal thingy? I am now waiting for the dinosaur to deliver the paper invoices as I haven't been able to log in to the account and they just keep telling me that all the blank pages where my fuel uplift information should be are a "browser issue" It doesn't work on Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Safari or Firefox Great!

          Sounds like defamation to me, Clare...those sort of things can turn up in unexpected places.
