Today, World Fuel | Colt announced expansion of its global trip support capabilities to include a 24x7 flight operation center in China and a regional storefront office in Johannesburg, South Africa. Best-of-class services providers Baldwin Aviation, GoRVSM and Vintage Catering also joined as resource partners. World Fuel | Colt’s regional trip support offices deliver a higher level of customer service and support. Locally-staffed experts tend to monitor regional regulatory issues more effectively and are often most capable of resolving any issues that may arise in their region. These additional locations bring the total regional storefronts to seven: South America (Brazil), EMEA (Geneva and London), APAC (Singapore and Shanghai), Canada, and Africa (Johannesburg). “Since the integration of Colt International and BaseOps, we have expanded our global resources to deliver high-quality, customized trip support to every customer on every trip,” said Jeff Briand, senior vice president of World Fuel | Colt global trip support. “Our model is to find the best service providers across the globe and then integrate them into our operations and technologies. Solution experts like Baldwin, Go RVSM and Vintage give our customers the best of both worlds. They get best-of-class services with the simplicity and ease of working with a single global company.“ World Fuel | Colt added three new solution partners to its offering at NBAA in Las Vegas. These new companies will join the wealth of innovative partners such as United Health Care | Global Risk and Professional Flight Management. • Baldwin Aviation is an industry leader in safety management training and systems, providing customer tailored programs with comprehensive online document management and tracking. • Go RVSM provide fast and reliable process for short term letters of acceptance (LOA) for both planned and urgent needs. • Vintage Catering is a full service private jet inflight caterer with a state-of-the-art tracking system that includes sending meal photos from the chef to customer.
