Universal Weather &amp; Aviation has introduced the second release of its Universal Mobile application. This allows UVAir cardholders to access their online fuel management accounts through any Web-enabled mobile device, including iPhone, iPad, BlackBerry or Android.
Via Universal Mobile, UVair customers can look at what their total fuel charges will be for a planned trip. They can also request fuel releases, as well as view savings and volume reports to help them in planning and budgeting. The application was launched in October and can be accessed by any Universal client who creates a registered user account at <a href="http://www.universalweather.com">www.universalweather.com</a>. Universal Mobile automatically detects the type of mobile device a user is operating and optimizes the format for that device. 
The first release of Universal Mobile allowed users to view and manage the details of their trips through Universal Trip Support Services on any mobile device via Universal’s Web-based UVtriplink Trip Status application. Future releases will come early this year and will include UVflightplanner.com, UVdatalink, QICP weather, UVTripPlanner and online invoices.
