World Fuel Services (Stand 605) has launched a special promotion here at the MEBA show in Dubai for new members who enroll in its FlyBuys Rewards program, through which operators earns points from retail fuel purchases, World Fuel Services contract fuel transactions, Avcard usage, and services purchased from the company’s BaseOps flight support division. Points can be redeemed for merchandise, travel rewards and charitable donations.
Participating FBO members of the World Fuel Services network can also offer bonus points at their discretion for fuel uplift incentives and promotions for customer loyalty. In its latest promotion, new members who enroll in the FlyBuys program between the start of this week’s MEBA show and the European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (EBACE) in May 2015 will receive 1,000 bonus points, as well as a chance to win a trip to the UEFA Champions League soccer final to be held in Berlin on June 6. The prize Game Day Getaway package which will be awarded at EBACE, includes two round-trip airline tickets to Berlin, a pair of tickets to the game, and a three night stay at an area hotel.
According to World Fuel Services, FlyBuys is different from other business aviation loyalty programs in that it is not intended only for the benefit of pilots. Instead, the rewards are available to schedulers, dispatchers and entire flight departments. Customers can earn FlyBuys rewards at more than 7,600 locations worldwide.
Avcard purchases earn FlyBuys Rewards two times faster at FBOs within the World Fuel Services network and four times faster at its Air Elite Diamond Service FBOs. The following Air Elite FBOs are exhibiting at the MEBA show: Royal Jet (Abu Dhabi), Business Aviation Centre Cologne (Germany), Harrods Aviation (London Stansted and Luton airports) and Jet Aviation (Dubai, Jeddah, Riyadh and Medina). There are 34 AirElite locations worldwide.
