World Fuel Services (WFS) announced today that AVCARD is now accepted by AeroParts Now (APN), a new business and general aviation online marketplace for researching and trading aircraft parts, accessories, and services.

“APN is an exciting new online marketplace for aviation parts sourcing and procurement,” said Stephanie Jordan, senior director, customer solutions at World Fuel Services. “Our relationship with APN is part of our expanded suite of aviation solutions. The AVCARD acceptance network now extends far beyond fuel and ground handling, to cover flight training, maintenance, satellite data access, and more, to provide everything an aircraft operator needs.”

The partnership between APN and AVCARD offers many benefits to purchasers:

- Flight departments can save one or more AVCARDs to their payment profile on APN, which will facilitate checkout and also enhance the control and tracking of overall aircraft and flight department expenses

- AVCARD charge cards can be issued by aircraft registration or to a flight department or parts department, allowing operators to control expenses beyond the aircraft level

- Operators can maximize rewards points with the FlyBuys Rewards Program, as all aviation purchases with World Fuel Services are eligible for points, fuel, trip support, operational expenses, and maintenance.

“We are proud to align with WFS, a global leader in business aviation payments. With AVCARD and the FlyBuys Rewards program, WFS is a key partner in helping us offer a state‐of‐the‐art payment solution with greater transaction convenience and security to our customers,” said Owen Busch, CEO and founder of APN. “The affiliation with AVCARD will accelerate the adoption of our new platform, as we look to transform the business and general aviation aircraft parts market.”
