Aviation solutions for you
OEMs, Lessors & MROs
Keep complex aircraft movements aligned with the technical, regulatory, and operational requirements behind each critical lifecycle event.
Aviation asset management solutions for complex aircraft movements
Aircraft delivery, transition, maintenance, storage, and redelivery events can stretch the operational capacity of asset, technical, and flight operations teams.
World Fuel Trip Support coordinates the aviation services required around these time-sensitive movements, including trip planning, regulatory requirements, ground handling, fuel arrangements, qualified flight crew coordination, and operational follow-through. Your team retains control of operating procedures, approvals, technical decisions, and asset responsibilities. We provide the additional capacity needed to keep each movement aligned with the wider project plan.
Support critical aircraft lifecycle events
Coordinate the operational work around aircraft production, delivery, maintenance, transition, storage, and return as part of one defined plan.
Keep the movement aligned with the handover plan
Coordinate trip planning, crew requirements, permits, handling, fuel, and logistics around aircraft delivery, acceptance, redelivery, or placement milestones.
Manage each leg as part of one operation
Bring route planning, airport requirements, local services, regulatory work, and operational communications together for multi-leg ferry and aircraft-transition missions.
Keep aircraft movements aligned with the MRO schedule
Coordinate repositioning, observation, test, and post-maintenance movements around maintenance timing and applicable operating requirements.
Prepare for time-sensitive aircraft movement
Coordinate the operational work around repossession-related repositioning, storage exit, or transfer, subject to aircraft, crew, regulatory, jurisdictional, and local service requirements.
Add specialist capacity when the mission requires it
Arrange trip coordination and qualified flight crew for ferry, demonstration, observation, and aircraft-transition missions, subject to aircraft, licensing, validation, location, and mission requirements.

- Access 24/7 operational support for time-critical requirements.
Aviation asset management solutions for your role
Asset and technical operations
Aircraft delivery, transition, repossession, storage, and redelivery events require several operational workstreams to follow one asset timeline. We coordinate aircraft movement planning, flight crew requirements, permits, handling, fuel, and trip logistics while your team retains responsibility for technical acceptance, commercial decisions, and asset oversight.

OEM program and delivery operations
Testing, demonstration, customer delivery, and certification-related aircraft movements must remain aligned with program schedules and defined operational milestones. We provide added planning and execution capacity around these flights, including trip coordination, local services, regulatory work, fuel arrangements, and qualified flight crew coordination where requested and available.

Global Aviation Handling Network
MRO and flight operations
Repositioning, observation, test, and post-maintenance movements may fall outside an MRO’s or operator’s routine operating model. We coordinate the agreed operational requirements around the movement while the MRO, operator, or asset owner retains control of maintenance release, technical readiness, procedures, and flight approvals.

Aviation asset management frequently asked questions
Practical answers for teams evaluating aviation asset management and aircraft transition support.
World Fuel Commercial Trip Support can coordinate ferry, delivery, redelivery, demonstration, observation, repositioning, maintenance-related, and aircraft-transition missions. The available scope depends on the aircraft, operating model, jurisdictions, crew requirements, locations, approvals, and mission profile.
We can arrange qualified flight crew for ferry, demonstration, observation, and aircraft-transition missions. Availability is subject to aircraft type, licensing, validation, location, operating requirements, and the defined mission scope.
You retain your operating procedures, approval paths, technical decisions, and asset responsibilities. We coordinate the agreed operational support scope around those requirements.
Trip support can coordinate permits, airport approvals, handling, fuel setup, and trip logistics. We confirm the precise scope, responsible parties, local availability, and any separately contracted services for each operation.
World Fuel supports aviation customers across more than 200 countries and territories and provides fuel, services, and trip support across more than 4,000 airports. We assess each aircraft transition based on the route, jurisdictions, airport requirements, crew, and local service availability.
Engage us when the aircraft, anticipated route, timeline, technical milestone, and operating requirements are known. Earlier coordination provides more time to confirm crew, regulatory, airport, handling, fuel, and logistical requirements. Our 24/7 aviation operations capability can also support time-critical requests.
