Re: Application for Aircraft Refueller
I am writing to apply for the Aircraft Refueller position at [Company Name]. With a strong background in fuelling operations and a commitment to safety and precision, I am confident I can contribute to your team from day one.
In my previous role, I was responsible for fuelling narrow-body aircraft during peak turnaround periods. I reduced the average fuelling time from 25 minutes to 18 minutes by pre-staging hoses and earthing equipment before the aircraft arrived, while maintaining a perfect safety record. I also implemented a double-check system for fuel grade and volume that eliminated fuelling errors across a 30-flight week.
I am particularly drawn to [Company Name] because of [add one genuine, specific reason: a project, value, or market position you can point to]. I am eager to bring my skills in hydrant dispenser operation and fuel documentation to your operations.
Thank you for considering my application. I have attached my resume and would welcome the opportunity to discuss how I can support your team's fuelling requirements.
Getting it right
- Keep it to one page. A hiring manager spends seconds on this before deciding whether to read your resume.
- Address a named person where you can find one, rather than "To Whom It May Concern".
- Don't repeat your resume line for line. Use the letter to add context a bullet point can't: why this role, why now, why here.
- Match the tone of the job ad. A formal listing calls for a formal letter; a casual one gives you room to write more like yourself.
This is a starting point, not a guarantee of interviews. Make it specific to the actual employer before you send it.
