AVFUEL & SIGNATURE OFFER AVFUEL CONTRACT FUEL IN EUROPE

ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN / ORLANDO, FLORIDA  Avfuel Corporation and Signature Flight Support have enhanced their business relationship by jointly offering Avfuel Commercial Contract Fuel and the pilot incentive program, AVTRIP, at Signature's fixed base operations (FBOs) in Europe.  The announcement comes just in time for this year's European Business Aviation Conference and Exhibition (EBACE), held May 22-24, 2007, and located in Geneva, Switzerland.  Both companies will be exhibiting at the event.  The targeted launch establishes Avfuel at nineteen (19) popular European locations, while allowing Signature to differentiate itself using two Avfuel programs which have proven to add significant value in the US.

According to Avfuel's Vice President of Contract Fuel, Russ Standefer, Avfuel Contract Fuel is about convenience and simplicity.  "It's a centralized purchasing system  you get one bill for the fuel you purchase in a given time period, from one company  Avfuel.  It helps with record keeping at tax time.  It saves money."  To obtain fuel, members simply show their Avfuel Contract Fuel card to the fueling agent.  Pre-authorizations can be obtained via the website, email or phone if necessary.    Additionally, eligible European customers will qualify for AVTRIP points, the most popular pilot refueling incentive program in the aviation industry.  Applications and other information can be found online at www.avfuel.com. 

"Establishing Avfuel Contract Fuel and AVTRIP points at our European FBOs was a natural outgrowth of our relationship with Avfuel in the States," said Signature President Bruce Van Allen.  "Avfuel is our largest fuel supplier in the US, and we offer AVTRIP points at all US locations.  We believe these programs will add value to the customer experience in Europe and is a logical way to connect Signature's US and European flight support networks."

EBACE is touted as a key visibility venue for business aviation companies.  The exhibit floor at last year's event featured 247 exhibitors.  It was attended by a record 6,487 people - an increase of 8.4 percent over the previous year's total of 5,984 people.
