"We have a strong commitment to the airport industry and are focused on continuing to grow the network of kiosks available to the travelling public."

Each kiosk is equipped with fully charged, ready-to-use, mobile charger kits that provide a safer and convenient way to passengers to recharge a smartphone or tablet.

The charging kit can be exchanged at any FuelRod kiosk worldwide.

FuelRods are small, portable, rechargeable chargers that provide up to eight hours of talk time for an iOS or Android phone, and approximately four hours of usage for an average tablet.

The chargers can be easily recharged by using any standard USB adaptor or can be replaced at any FuelRod SwapBox with a new, fully charged, ready-to-use replacement rod.
