World Fuel Services is celebrating a
successful first year as full-service fuels and solutions provider to TAG
Farnborough Airport.
The UK-based airport is acclaimed for its
offering, a reflection of the total service culture and facilities that are in
place at the award-winning FBO site. WFS have been a part of that offering for
over 15 years, providing a range of solutions including credit and payment
solutions.
Over the last year, this relationship has
advanced further and following a competitive tender, World Fuel Services took on
the complete fuel and service provision at Farnborough in December 2016,
following its own global growth based on the ExxonMobil aviation business
acquisition.
This vital deal provided WFS with the
capabilities to be a front runner in the market in offering a full service and
physical on the ground solution for the airport. World Fuel Services’ vice
president Mark Amor
commented: “We have always had a relationship with TAG Aviation, however in the
past we were often categorised as the payments and solutions partner, bringing
customers, helping manage traffic and promotion and some marketing.
“The game changer for us was when we bought
the ExxonMobil business, which transformed our physical capability, positioning
us as a leading supplier of fuel & service solutions to airports and FBO’s.”
The announcement is another success story for
WFS, which has been enjoying unprecedented growth across Europe, fueled by key
contract wins such as TAG Farnborough Airport.
Roger Walker,
Director Airport Operations, TAG Farnborough Airport said: “We were pleased to
welcome World Fuel Services to TAG Farnborough Airport and they have provided
excellent service to our customers throughout this year. We look forward to
working together with them during 2018.”
Amor added: “We are committing to designing
and delivering bespoke and flexible services for our customers. We are doing
things far more efficiently, not just in the price of fuel but in the way that
we provide other on-the-ground services as well. It is in this way that we have
successfully worked with TAG Farnborough Airport throughout the past 12 months,
and look forward to 2018 being equally positive.”
