Case Study: a major Canadian integrated energy company reduces aviation costs and emissions with Maine Pointe

a major integrated energy company cuts aviation costs 20% with Maine Pointe

The client, one of Canada's largest integrated energy companies, faced high costs and underutilization within its large corporate aviation division. After a prior successful engagement with Maine Pointe in ground transportation, the company's SVP of field logistics again engaged Maine Pointe. The challenge was to drastically reduce aviation costs—including fuel, crewing, and maintenance—while safely servicing 250,000 annual passengers across multiple locations.

Maine Pointe implemented a comprehensive aviation costs reduction project, creating a state-of-the-art operations control center and accurate performance dashboards. They optimized scheduling, formed an Aviation Users Group, and reduced reliance on expensive charters. The results delivered by Maine Pointe included 20% annualized savings, a 96% improvement in owned fleet use, a 28% reduction in fuel consumption, and a major cut in carbon emissions. The project achieved a 7:1 ROI and earned the client's internal team a President’s Award for Environment and Sustainability.
