Phillips 66 Aviation Heads Into NBAA-BACE 2026 on a Century-Old Refiner-Direct Model

Phillips 66 Aviation is entering NBAA-BACE 2026 built on a supply chain that skips the middleman: fuel moves from its own refineries into the tanks of business aircraft without a broker layer in between. For owners, that structure is the whole story — refiner-direct sourcing is the kind of thing that shows up not in the price on a receipt but in whether fuel is there when the airplane needs it. The company marks a century in business aviation fueling heading into the show, a run that predates most of the jets it now fuels.
