World Fuel Services and Platinum Business Aviation Centre have signed a 10-year agreement expanding their collaboration at Gold Coast Airport (YBCG) near Coolangatta, Queensland, Australia.
Under the new arrangement, World Fuel will assume responsibility for managing and administering fuel retailing operations on the business and general aviation apron at Gold Coast starting this month.
The companies have worked together for six years, with World Fuel supplying fuel and equipment to support Platinum’s FBOs. This latest agreement marks the next phase of their partnership, with Platinum becoming a World Fuel agent. World Fuel will upgrade the airport’s aviation fuel facilities and provide Joint Inspection Group-compliant fuel training to Platinum’s staff as part of the transition.
Platinum’s staff will continue to handle aircraft refueling and ground services, ensuring a seamless transition with no changes for customers. The partnership is designed to maintain high safety, quality, and service standards.&nbsp;&nbsp;
“Working with World Fuel allows us to offer our customers a more integrated service,” said Platinum general manager Joe Stenning. “This collaboration leverages World Fuel’s global reach and expertise, which spans over 200 countries and 8,000 locations, to enhance our operations and the experience for aircraft operators at [Gold Coast].”&nbsp;&nbsp;
World Fuel has been active in Australia since 2011 and began physical operations in the country in 2017 after acquiring ExxonMobil’s fueling operations at 88 airports worldwide, including 18 in Australia. Since then, the company has expanded its local network to 30 airport locations.
“Platinum Business Aviation Centre recognizes the vital relationship between an aircraft operator and an FBO,” said Davin Magee, managing director at World Fuel Services Australia. “This agreement highlights our mutual dedication to delivering superior service to aviation customers and improving operational efficiency at [YBCG].”
Platinum is part of the Air Elite by World Fuel network and is known for its high-end FBO facilities, offering amenities and ground support services tailored to business and general aviation customers.
