LAS VEGAS -- BusinessLink for Aviation with the MasterCard Card(R) Now Available

Comdata Corp., a leader in transaction processing in the transportation industry, and PerfectStop, a general aviation communications and transaction platform, today introduced BusinessLink for aviation, a complete purchasing solution designed to reduce time, control costs and streamline processes associated with aviation flight service.

BusinessLink for aviation is an electronic transaction platform that streamlines key business processes to provide operators and FBOs significant time and cost savings and new marketing opportunities.

"Not only does BusinessLink transmit data instantly, but customers also have access to real-time reporting at the speed of the Internet."

Stuart Tillman, vice president for sales at PerfectStop, said, "For operators, fuel costs, billing errors and timely billing are big issues - and this system improves all of them. The bottom line is faster and more accurate billing, with greater control over costs. For FBOs, this is an enormous value, giving them a direct connection to customers, with aircraft and event tracking tools included at no cost."
