Air Elite, the World Fuel-sponsored global network of upscale FBOs, has expanded its footprint “down under” with the addition of two Australian service providers.
Machjet International, an FBO on the country’s east coast at Brisbane-area Sunshine Coast Airport (YBSU), features lounges for VIP passengers and crew in its dedicated terminal, hangar space capable of sheltering bizliner-class aircraft, and direct ramp access.
“The Sunshine Coast continues to attract business and leisure travel from across Australia and the Asia-Pacific region, said Machjet managing director Simon McDermott. “Joining Air Elite connects our local operation with a global network while allowing us to continue doing what we do best: supporting operators flying into Queensland and beyond.”
On the other side of the country, Revesco Aviation is a designated point of entry at Perth Airport (YPPH), the primary international gateway for Western Australia. Less than eight miles from Perth’s business district, it coordinates customs and immigration services, and features a dedicated terminal with VIP passenger lounge, hangar access, permitting and slot assistance, and rampside passenger pick-up and drop-off.
“Western Australia continues to see demand from operators supporting business, resources, government and leisure travel said company CEO Peter Hillier. “We look forward to working with Air Elite members and providing the local knowledge and on-the-ground support needed for successful operations into Perth.”
Both locations will provide World Fuel products and services such as contract fuel, Avcard, trip support, and World Fuel Rewards.
To maintain network quality, all prospective Air Elite members must undergo an audit of their facilities and amenities before acceptance. These latest additions bring the network to 78 locations worldwide, including four on the Australian continent.
“Australia continues to be an important market for business aviation, serving as both a destination and a strategic connecting point for operators moving throughout the Asia-Pacific region,” explained Malcolm Hawkins, World Fuel’s senior v-p for global business aviation. “By adding Revesco Aviation and Machjet International, we’re strengthening the support available to operators across two key Australian gateways while expanding the Air Elite network’s reach in the region.”
