Where are we wrong? Right now, I have a SkyFuel-supplied AirBP card. Come July, said card will not work and furthermore AirBP will not allow me to open an account in my name as I am an individual - not a business. So if I want to do a flight down to Maitland in the evening how do I get fuel from their bowser that only accepts AirBP cards? How can I plan a tech stop at Broken Hill enroute to SA unless I ensure I arrive at a time when the BP rep is onsite to swipe his card?

How does anyone who is not a business now get fuel from an AirBP bowser, without someone being onsite to operate it for them - and if AH perhaps stinging them for callout fees to boot? Rather than trying to come up with a sarcastic reply, perhaps you could educate those of us who are going to be screwed over by AirBP's decision to refuse a carnet card now SkyFuel has moved on from that market?
