U.S. Bank Multi Service Aviation has created a co-branded affinity card for Van Nuys, Calif.-based The Air Group, designed to strengthen the charter operator’s brand identity and help identify its customers as members of its fuel program. Under the partnership, the Air Group can use Multi Service Aviation’s closed network of more than 7,000 merchants in 190 countries. 

The Air Group has also teamed with Multi Service Aviation to create a crew card program using the U.S. Bank One Visa card, which operators can use outside the closed Multi Service Aviation network for non-aviation purchases such as hotel rooms, rental cars and meals. The Air Group expects both card programs to help it streamline accounting practices and track business activity with more detail.
