It’s been a busy week at NBAA 2016 for World Fuel Services Network (WFSN, Booth 4600). In the U.S., the company welcomed Flightways Columbus in Columbus, Ga.; Emery Air in Rockford, Ill.; and Guardian Jet Center in Ontario, Calif., to its network. Internationally, its Air Elite Network of top-notch FBOs welcomed eight Deer Jet facilities across China into its family.
The company also announced the general release of its flight operation system integration system, which connects World Fuel/Colt’s Trip Support platform with Professional Flight Management’s system, eliminating the need for duplicate data entry for customers.
WFSN is a Miami, Fla.-based global provider of fuel services, trip support and aviation insurance to more than 8,200 flight departments, selling fuel in 200 countries across the globe. “Our customer-focused team works closely with each FBO to ensure that a personalized solution is tailored to its location to best facilitate growth and success there,” said Steve Drzymalla, senior v-p of general aviation for World Fuel Services.
According to Deer Jet executive v-p Li Zheng, “Deer Jet, operating Asia’s largest private jet fleet, is dedicated to enhancing its FBO ground-handling services capabilities across China, which we feel we can do by joining the Air Elite Diamond Service Network as its first Asian member.” This year the Air Elite Network has grown by 12 locations, now encompassing 62 FBOs worldwide.
