Government trip support for mission-ready operations

When a government or military flight has to move across multiple locations, the mission depends on more than the route alone. World Fuel Trip Support, formerly Spire Flight Solutions, provides dedicated defence and government aviation expertise to coordinate the planning and operational requirements behind the movement.

Defense flight support built around your mission

When each flight involves different locations, timelines, and operating conditions, disconnected support can add friction to mission planning. World Fuel Trip Support brings dedicated commercial and government aviation resources around the mission so your team can move from planning into execution with fewer handoffs.

Long-tenured dispatchers, including team members with military backgrounds, work as an extension of flight operations, mission-planning, and ground support teams. They help assess feasibility, anticipate trip disruptors, secure ground services, and keep the operating plan aligned as requirements develop. This dedicated expertise is backed by 24/7 support, aviation operations across more than 200 countries and territories, and a network spanning more than 4,000 airports.

Mission planning

Build the support plan around the mission

Keep each operational requirement connected from initial planning through aircraft movement.

When the mission spans multiple locations or falls outside routine activity, your team needs a plan that accounts for how each requirement affects the next. World Fuel Trip Support evaluates route feasibility and likely trip disruptors before connecting government flight planning and scheduling with the fuel, ground support, permits, and local coordination required for the operation.

This connected approach helps flight operations personnel manage changing schedules and destination needs without separating each requirement into a different planning track.
