World Fuel Services has added four new locations where pilots can experience the Air Elite standard of excellence: StanCraft Jet Centre in Idaho; Gateway Aviation Windsor and Airside Flight Services in Canada, and São Paulo Catarina International Executive Airport in Brazil.

“We are honoured to welcome these new locations to the Air Elite Network, as their commitment to safety and service aligns with our commitment to excellence,”says senior vice president of business aviation bulk fuel Steve Drzymalla. “Pilots will now have more location options to experience the Air Elite difference.”

All Air Elite locations receive an invitation to participate in the global network after a diligent review of their facilities and commitment to high-quality service to passengers and pilots. These four locations successfully exceeded the required qualifications to earn an invitation to the global network curated for elite service. This process is governed by the Air Elite board, comprised of members who maintain the network membership and brand.

From take off to touchdown, these new locations additionally give pilots more opportunities to enjoy exclusive benefits like contract pricing, AVCARD by World Fuel acceptance and World Fuel Rewards.
