Designed for aviation expenditures such as fueling, ground handling, and aircraft maintenance, World Fuel’s payment services offer consolidated billing, transaction information, and reporting tools to assist operators in tracking their spending. Customers enrolled in World Fuel’s rewards program can also earn points on qualifying purchases through Air Culinaire.

“Our goal is to make catering easier for flight departments and crews,” explained Air Culinaire CEO John Lee. “Accepting Avcard by World Fuel gives customers a convenient way to pay and an opportunity to earn rewards on eligible purchases.”

At NBAA-BACE this week, the Evans Family Company—the parent of Air Culinaire—also announced it has fully integrated with Airplane Manager’s platform. This allows flight departments with existing Air Culinaire accounts to place catering orders via the same system they use to manage flight schedules, with no separate integration contract required.

Users can now access the Air Culinaire ordering portal from their flight schedule to browse menus with pricing and dietary guidelines, and place orders without switching platforms. They will then receive order status updates, and the process requires fewer emails and less manual data entry, simplifying the catering process for schedulers, dispatchers, and flight crews.

“Flight departments are managing a tremendous number of details for every trip, and catering shouldn’t require an entirely separate process,” said Lee. “By connecting our services with platforms like Airplane Manager, we can make the experience faster, easier, and more efficient for our customers.”
