Business jets, whether wholly owned, chartered, or fractionally owned, are poised for take-off as an option for the highly valued executive team whose travel requirements are not met by commercial flights. Despite SOX requirements to justify this corporate expenditure, a significant increase in small aircraft orders—including the new entrants, very light jets (VLJ)—provides reason to expect growth in the usage of business jets. This session will:

• review scope of corporate aircraft


• examine the rols of corporate culture in corporate aircraft utilization


• provide steps for setting up a corporate aircraft program


• make the case for the travel department's alliance with the corporate aircraft program
