WHY PIPELINES MATTER FOR YOUR FLIGHT – AND YOUR WALLET

Pipelines are the unsung heroes of modern air travel and time-definite transportation of goods. They quietly deliver millions of gallons of jet fuel to major airports every day, without traffic jams or exhaust fumes.

Here’s why that matters for you:

Affordable Flights

Pipelines are the lowest-cost way to deliver jet fuel. Compared to trucks or trains, pipelines keep delivery costs down - saving airlines money and helping keep ticket prices in check. Every extra penny spent moving fuel systemwide adds up to $150 million in additional operating costs – which can be impactful for both airlines and consumers.

Affordable Flights

Unlike trucks that can get stuck in traffic or delayed by weather, pipelines move fuel 24/7. That means fewer delays, fewer cancellations, and smoother, more efficient airport operations.
With hundreds of daily flights across the country, even small interruptions in fuel delivery can cause major travel disruptions.

Cleaner Skies

Pipelines produce far fewer emissions than trucks - 467% fewer, in fact. That makes them better for air quality, the climate, and the communities near highways and freight routes.
Keeping fuel in pipelines helps reduce the pollution that comes from thousands of extra trucks on the road.

Bottom Line: Pipelines are quieter, cleaner, and cheaper - and they keep your travel plans running smoothly.
