HILLSBORO, OR (October 6, 2008) – In response to escalating aviation fuel prices, Global Aviation, Inc., an independent, full service aviation company, has announced the Global Fuel Solutions Program (GFS) to offer discount fuel on a national basis for subscriber members. Innovative for its simplicity and return on investment, The GFS program premise is simple: volume purchases derive greater discounts. As more members sign up for the program, Global Aviation is able to purchase aviation fuel in greater volumes thereby extending higher discounts to all. Potential members should visit the GFS website at www.flyglobalnow.com for details.

The Global Fuel Solutions Program is notable for several reasons. Global Aviation provides a portfolio of fuel credit cards for every fuel vendor listed on the Global Fuel Solutions Program site and takes care of all program administration (Powered by Scheduling Sidecar Software). Once a trip itinerary is submitted, the member can review discount fuel options from a broad list of vendors and then order fuel from their vendor of choice. GFS also streamlines the billing process. Instead of receiving multiple trip billings, the member receives a single monthly statement allowing for a single payment every 30 days. Customized reports based on the client’s specifications are also a feature.

“The Global Fuel Solutions Program is a just in time solution to a severe problem,” states Denny Mantello, Chief Pilot, Harsch Investment Properties. “The industry is in critical need of a program that will allow smaller users access to lower fuel prices by pooling our volumes. Fuel is the most important single product used in this industry and we are at a vital crossroad in controlling expenses. Global is showing national leadership with this program. I am proud to be a member.”

“We simply felt a need to better serve our clients. A fuel program seemed the logical approach,” said Michael Walker, Marketing Director, Global Aviation. “The goal of the Global Fuel Solutions program is to deliver a simple, timely fuel program that will enable our customers to realize significant cost savings and simplify their billings.”
