World Fuel Services announced today at EBACE 2015 that it has combined its business aviation capabilities with Colt International under the name, World Fuel | Colt. This unified offering focuses on delivering enhanced solutions to flight departments and operators in EMEA and around the globe.

Aircraft operators immediately benefit from the World Fuel I Colt integrated solution by gaining competitive contract fuel pricing and supply at more locations, expanded trip support services within a larger network and new financial solutions to manage and control spend. The industry-leading product offering includes contract fuel featuring the Colt Card, regional and international trip support, AVCARD charge card, FlyBuys rewards program, and aviation insurance. In addition to its award-winning portfolio, World Fuel | Colt offers European customers enhanced coverage due to its team's growth. The Geneva office provides better time zone coverage due to its central Europe location, and the experienced, multilingual sales and operations staff enhances support offered to customers throughout the region. MH Aviation also provides tailored regional trip support in Africa from its Johannesburg base.

Professional Pilot Magazine recently recognized these products in the 2015 PRASE Survey with World Fuel Services and Colt Card claiming #1 in Fuel Brand and Aviation Fuel Credit Card categories respectively. AVCARD and Trip Support were also recognized as leaders. For the past two years, no other company has provided such comprehensive fuel card and trip support solution depth.

Michael Szczechowski, senior vice president of business & general aviation sales, further explained benefits of their enhanced capabilities and bolstered team. “We have brought together industry-leading products and services, along with some of the most experienced and talented professionals in the business. The natural product of such a combination is being able to better satisfy the diverse needs of our European customers whether they need fuel, trip support, or technology. Anything they need to operate an aircraft in and out of EMEA region, we can provide.”

To serve aircraft operators in the EMEA market, World Fuel I Colt maintains regional business and general aviation offices in London, Hague, Moscow, Geneva and Dubai, along with Johannesburg, through MH Aviation.
