About Us

At Universal, employees throughout the organization pride themselves on creating successful trips, and on the multiple awards garnered for the company's number-one ranking in International Trip Planning.

We're about one thing. Making your next trip a success.

Universal Weather and Aviation, Inc. (Universal®) began providing weather briefings specifically for corporate aviation in 1959. Today, we are much more than a weather company. We are a global trip support services provider, serving clients at every point along their trips, virtually anywhere they fly. Through Trip Support Services, the UVair® Fuel Program, Universal Aviation(sm), and online trip planning tools, we're prepared to meet every client's need for a given trip, from start to finish.

This breadth of services, combined with our experience and information resources, attracts clients worldwide to Universal. But it's not the services themselves that have made us the industry leader. What sets Universal apart is our ability to consistently facilitate successful trips – to learn each client's unique definition of success and deliver it every time they take to the sky.

Universal is able to excel at trip facilitation for three reasons:

We have a global presence.

Not just global connections, but a physical presence throughout the world. We developed Universal Aviation ground support locations in locations around the world where tech stops and layovers are common; opened a European Operations Centre (operated by Universal Aviation (UK) Ltd) specifically for Europe-based operators traveling throughout Europe; opened a Middle East Operations Centre (operated by Universal Aviation Middle East FZE) for those operators based within that region. And we continually work to ensure that the UVair Fueling Card has worldwide acceptance. This presence gives us a better ability to ensure the quality of service our clients receive, virtually anywhere they fly.

We use our collective knowledge well.

Universal maintains a vast database of aircraft, route, weather, airport, and accommodations data. But, how we share and use that information is just as important. At Universal, each account is assigned a dedicated team of experienced professionals. The people working on your trip know you and your operation, and work as a team with your team. The result is proactive service at every turn. Our clients often remark that their Universal team seems to know what they need or want even before they do.

We make doing business easy.

We're in the business of simplifying your trip, not complicating it. For example, as the Internet has evolved, we've made more and more of our data and resources available online. Our enhanced online trip services enable our clients to tap into Universal's flight and weather data, and create entire trips themselves. If that's the kind of assistance our clients want – and we strongly believe it is – we will excel at providing it.

In short, Universal is an extension of your flight operations team, a provider of vital resources – human, technological, global and scientific – that flight departments can't always provide for themselves. These resources make our clients supremely confident that no matter how, when, or where they work with Universal, their trips will be successful.
