It's More Than "Just" Weather Info... A LOT More
Universal Weather and
Aviation, Inc. will showcase how it delivers successful trips to
business aviation operators at the National Business Aviation
Association's 61st Annual Meeting and Convention (NBAA2008), held
in Orlando, FL on October 6-8.
"Regardless of what unique needs operators of business aircraft
may have, ultimately the most important characteristic they want
from a trip support service provider is to know that their trip
will be a success," said Dave Diulus, COO of Universal. "From fuel,
to flight planning, to online tools or ground support, we will
demonstrate how through our comprehensive service offering we
deliver successful trips to our clients no matter the size of their
aircraft or where they fly."
Universal's Exhibit #219 will offer interactive demonstrations
and presentations covering the company's service offerings and
opportunities for face-to-face discussions with Universal experts.
Some of the activities and services to be featured include:
- TSS – Meet face-to-face with trip
support specialists from Universal’s portfolio teams

Universal’s Regulatory Services department for the latest
information and news on the issues operators need to know such as
new regulations/requirements, security, and more.
- UVair – UVair fuel experts will be on
hand to discuss fuel pricing and availability as well as show
operators how they can save money by understanding the different

online tools showing how they can save time and money with fast
access to fuel availability, customized online quotes and fuel
setups.

allow users to retrieve deleted trips, get crew and passenger

to each registry and obtain automated e-mails when they are
scheduled on a flight, and receive additional Charter Quote

Universal will host three 20-minute speaker sessions at its

attendees and media.

including regulatory services, security essentials and how to save
money on fuel," said Diulus.
