World Fuel

World Fuel is the unified commercial brand of World Kinect Corporation (NYSE: WKC), the Miami fuel distributor known for decades as World Fuel Services — in the first quarter of 2026 the company realigned its customer brand back to World Fuel, with Ira M. Birns as CEO from January 2026 and regional hubs in London and Singapore. Its aviation business says it serves more than 4,000 airports in over 200 countries and territories: World Fuel Contract is available at more than 4,200 locations, AVCARD is accepted at more than 8,600 merchant locations in 190-plus countries, and the trip-support network extends to 17,000 locations. Older brands folded in over the years include UVair (Universal Weather's fuel business, acquired 2020), Colt International, and the EPIC Fuels general-aviation fuel and EPIC Card business (agreement announced July 2024); Universal Weather's Trip Support Services division joined in November 2025 and operates as World Fuel | Universal Trip Support.
