Private aviation caterer On Air Dining, which recently was named best in-flight caterer at the Luxury Travel Guide Lifestyle Awards, has become the first in the UK to accept World Fuel Services’ Avcard for purchase orders. The company will be participating in the FlyBuys rewards program, which awards users one FlyBuy point for every $10 spent.

 


To commemorate its joining the program, On Air, which serves all of the major business airports in the London area and the south of England, announced this week at EBACE that in addition to the standard rewards, it will be offering 500 bonus points for each order over £450 paid with Avcard through the end of June.

 


“By becoming the first executive in-flight culinary specialist that accepts charges and offers rewards through Avcard, we are creating a global opportunity to bring the highest standards of fine dining to a much wider audience,” said CEO Daniel Hulme. “We are again leading the way in luxury concierge and logistics by ensuring that customers can now add the On Air Dining experience to the list of aviation services that can be purchased directly with Avcard, and we are looking forward to rewarding our clients with this bonus in June.”

 


The company is co-exhibiting at Satcom Direct's EBACE booth (W115), where it will also conduct food demonstrations daily at 11:30 a.m. during the show.
