Universal and GAK Korea announce co-branded UVair fuel and services card

Universal Weather and Aviation, Inc. and Global A.K. Co. Ltd (GAK Korea) have announced the launch of a new co-branded UVair fuel and services card. The new card leverages the strengths of both organizations to offer GAK Korea clients preferred pricing on fuel and services globally. UVair is the fueling services division of Universal.

"We've enjoyed a longstanding relationship with Universal for many years and this project will help take our relationship to the next level. This co-branded UVair card will benefit our clients by providing additional value and savings while also providing a strong growth opportunity for both GAK Korea and Universal," said Michael J.

"Our relationship with GAK Korea has yielded significant success thus far in support of our customers' mission," said Dave Diulus, president, UVair. "Working with GAK Korea we've grown our customer base and opened doors to additional growth to support our clients in Korea and throughout the region. Moving forward, we anticipate further strengthening our relationship with GAK Korea, as we identify additional ways to reduce our clients' operating risk and stress."
