Air Elite Network established

By Janice Wood · December 4, 2011 ·

Alliance Aviation Services (AAS) has become a founding member of the new Air Elite Network, which was formed following the announcement by ExxonMobil to exit the AVITAT FBO business.

AAS teamed with representatives from other former AVITAT locations and World Fuel Services Corporation to develop a new FBO brand – the Air Elite Network.

“We believe strongly that flight departments desire a combination of great service and superior facilities,” said Tim Ward, President Alliance Aviation Services. “AAS is pleased to be among the first FBO locations to become a part of the exciting new Air Elite network. This is truly a collaborative effort, combining the expertise and resources of World Fuel with the collective commitment of the world’s best FBO locations and operators.”

“The exit of the Exxon premium FBO brand from the industry provided the perfect opportunity to launch a revitalized and growth-oriented Air Elite network,” said Marty Hiller, Executive V.P. WFS Business Aviation. “Flight departments benefit though an expanded network of exceptional FBO choices, supported by the wide array of WFS programs.”
