International Flight Planning and Regulatory Support

Operating a business aircraft requires precision, global expertise, and a trusted service provider. World Fuel Trip Support acts as an extension of your flight department, providing the planning, data, and global network you need to operate efficiently and compliantly worldwide. 

Flight Planning Options

When it comes to international flight planning, we give you the flexibility to choose the level of support that fits your needs:

Expert managed flight planning when you need it: Our flight planners ensure you receive the most accurate, reliable, mission-critical information you need before every flight.


Self-service tools when you don’t: OFP gives you greater control to streamline flight paths, simplify trip plans and reduce cost. The technology our flight planners use is the same that you use in OFP, which means you see what we see.

 

Weather and Route Intelligence

Our in-house meteorologists are available 24/7 to provide real-time guidance and customized weather packages. Advanced tools allow you to visualize routes over graphic maps with live aviation weather, winds, and FIR overlays—giving you the most accurate picture of conditions along your flight path.

Aviation Regulatory Services

Keeping compliant with global regulations can be a full-time job, but it doesn’t have to be yours. Trust our experts to assist you with regulatory compliance to save time and avoid delays or fines. Key services include UK Air Passenger Duties (APD), Border Overflight Exemptions (BOE), European Union Emission Trading Systems (EU ETS), Safety Management Systems (SMS), and more.

Explore our full suite of services and see how we keep your operations safe, efficient, and fully compliant worldwide.

Ground Handling and Logistics Services

With a global network of 17,000+ pre-qualified vendors, we ensure seamless ground handling support wherever you fly. Our trusted partners manage every detail—from aircraft parking, ground equipment, and deicing to passenger greeting, baggage handling, and coordination with airport and customs authorities—so your operations run smoothly and efficiently at every destination.

Ground Transportation Planning

Wherever your journeys take you, ensure your passengers and crew get the service they expect. Save time when you allow us to arrange transportation to suit your needs, including taxis, rental cars, limousines or passenger vans.

When security is a top priority for your party, our partners at UnitedHealthcare Global Risk can arrange for secure transportation with security-trained drivers, armed guard-assisted vehicles, and armored vehicles.

Customs and Regulatory Coordination

Our operations team works closely with authorities worldwide to streamline arrivals and departures. We manage customs pre-clearance for the U.S. and Canada, APIS and CARICOM submissions across the U.S., Caribbean, Mexico, Colombia, and UAE, and slot and airport reservations to maintain preferred schedules at high-traffic airports.

CBP Reimbursable Services Program

World Fuel Trip Support is an approved provider in the CBP Reimbursable Services Program (RSP). As passenger and cargo volumes grow, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) resources can be strained, causing clearance delays. Through the RSP, World Fuel can coordinate after-hours customs services at 78 approved airports, helping operators maintain schedule flexibility and avoid operational disruptions. Additional airport approvals are in progress.
