Tour operator and flying adventure company Air Journey successfully completed its first journey around the world utilizing the international fueling experience of U.S. Bank Multi Service Aviation. In support of the trip, Multi Service Aviation arranged fuel authorizations for all itinerary locations, and the Multi Service Aviation Card was selected as the fuel payment method of choice for all participating aircraft.

The trip lasted 71 days, from May 14 to July 28, and covered 24,000 nautical miles, visiting 23 countries including Greenland, Iceland, Norway, France, Morocco, Malta, Greece, Turkey, Egypt, Dubai, Oman, India, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Hong Kong, South Korea and Russia. Six aircraft participated in the trip, including a Conquest, a Cessna Mustang, a Pilatus PC12, two Socata TBM 700s and a Beech Royal Duke.

“All of this would not have been possible without the expertise, knowledge, connections and constant attention to details provided to us by Multi Service Aviation. Arrangements were so well-made that we barely had to show the Multi Service Aviation Card and payment never came into question in the transaction. For journeys to far away destinations, that is a tremendous weight off our shoulders as well as those of the participants,” said Thierry Pouille, president of Air Journey. “Multi Service Aviation has provided exceptional attention and service incomparable to any other company. Air Journey and Multi Service Aviation work very well as partners, and I can’t imagine any journey to any part of the world without their constant attention and overlooking our wings.”

During the planning stages of the trip, Multi Service Aviation worked closely with Air Journey to help determine the itinerary based upon locations where fuel would be available and offered price quotes to help Air Journey examine which locations offered the best economic choices.
