Jet Fuel Price API for
Airlines & Aviation

Integration Example: Route Fuel Cost Calculator

// Calculate fuel cost for a specific route
const calculateRouteFuelCost = async (origin, destination, aircraft) => {
  // Get jet fuel prices at both airports
  const [originPrice, destPrice] = await Promise.all([
    fetch(`https://api.oilpriceapi.com/v1/prices/jet-a?location=${origin}`, {
      headers: { 'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' }
    }).then(r => r.json()),
    fetch(`https://api.oilpriceapi.com/v1/prices/jet-a?location=${destination}`, {
      headers: { 'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' }
    }).then(r => r.json())
  ]);

  // Aircraft fuel consumption (gallons per hour)
  const fuelBurn = {
    'B737': 850,
    'A320': 800,
    'B777': 2500
  };

  const flightHours = getFlightTime(origin, destination);
  const gallonsNeeded = fuelBurn[aircraft] * flightHours;

  // Compare tankering vs destination fueling
  const fuelAtOrigin = gallonsNeeded * originPrice.price;
  const fuelAtDest = gallonsNeeded * destPrice.price;

  return {
    route: `${origin} → ${destination}`,
    fuelAtOrigin: fuelAtOrigin.toFixed(2),
    fuelAtDestination: fuelAtDest.toFixed(2),
    recommendation: fuelAtOrigin < fuelAtDest ? 'Tanker from origin' : 'Fuel at destination',
    savings: Math.abs(fuelAtOrigin - fuelAtDest).toFixed(2)
  };
