Alaska's Great Circle Flight Services (GCFS) and JetSet Services in Athens have joined World Fuel Services' Air Elite Network. GCFS is a Ross Aviation FBO located at Ted Stevens Anchorage International airport. Since it opened in 2005 it has built a reputation for providing service to large business aircraft travelling between financial centres in the United States and Asia. Ross Aviation COO Cy Farmer comments: “As the first Air Elite member in Alaska, we are honoured to have been accepted into the network and are looking forward to making the most of its many benefits. We have always prided ourselves on delivering outstanding customer service and we know we will be enhancing our service standards even more thanks to the 'Ritz-Carlton' training that is provided to Air Elite members.”

JetSet Services is based at Athens International airport and supports flights across 20 other main airports in Greece. It offers bespoke VIP and handling services as well as 24-hour operational assistance, airport lot coordination, PPRs and landing permits.

We look forward to bringing a VIP and bespoke experience to Air Elite's business aviation customers and offering them a level of care they would not receive outside of the network.”
