AVTRIP Secures Tier Statuses through 2021
Out of appreciation for its customers and in reaction to the COVID-19 pandemic's affect on flight activity, Avfuel is guaranteeing its AVTRIP members will not lose their gold or platinum statuses in 2021. However, members who still fly and fuel enough in 2020 to step up tiers for 2021 will still be able to do so. This guarantees that members will receive the benefits they earned until they're back in the sky. As always, points never expire, so members need not be concerned with losing rewards.

Scholarship Opportunities - April 20, 2020
