World Fuel Services has added more than a dozen Hawker Pacific and Deer Jet locations to its network of Air Elite Diamond Service locations. The locations will participate in World Fuel’s FlyBuys loyalty program that awards pilots, flight crewmembers, flight departments and schedulers and dispatchers at an elevated rate. FlyBuys members earn four times the rewards points on Avcard purchases and double the points for World Fuel Services contract fuel purchases, as well as points for all World Fuel/Colt trip support services.
The new Hawker Pacific Air Elite Diamond locations are in Brisbane, Cairns, Perth and Sydney, Australia and Singapore, while the Deer Jet locations are in Changsha, Guilin, Nanning, Shenzhen, Haikou, Sanya, Xi’an and Hangzhou, China.
“With the Air Elite Network’s impressive global growth in recent years, it’s become easier and more convenient for flight operators to capitalize on these elevated rewards offered by our global network of Diamond service FBOs,” said Mark Amor, vice president of aviation commercial development for World Fuel Services (Booth P124). 
World Fuel Services is providing more details about FlyBuys reward program, as well as about its other services, this week during ABACE.
