World Fuel Colt (Booth A006) released a new version of its online flight planning portal, OFP File & Go, that allow users to validate generated Central Flow Management Unit (CFMU) routes and quickly file with Eurocontrol. This release is part of World Fuel Colt’s expanding Regional Trip Support solution that integrates cloud-based technology with its Global Trip Support product.

Free for active customers, OFP File & Go uses aircraft performance and real-time temperatures and winds to create routes and generate navigational logs. It eliminates planning complexity by integrating with Google Maps, allowing pilots and dispatchers to build multi-leg itineraries and plan fuel stops based on fuel burns, ETEs and range.

With databases of more than 20,000 regulatory, airport and country factors, the system automatically determines the necessary landing permits and slots based on the route. Delivery controls allow trip planners to build customized flight packages and email it to crews.

“OFP File & Go is a great addition to our expanding Regional Trip Support portfolio,” said Jeff Briand, senior vice president of World Fuel Colt Global Trip Support. “Our European customers will have more accurate flight plans versus other free products and that equates to more accurate fuel burn and lower costs. The European market wants self-service; our solution allows them to do it themselves when they want or use our operations center when then need support.”
