Flight Services' goal is to provide safe, cost-effective air transportation
for state officials and employees. In addition to receiving basic air
transportation, there are numerous advantages to using Flight Services. Non-Stop Flights: Flights on state aircraft are direct to the airport of
your choosing. No stopovers to wait for connecting flights. No worries about
missing baggage. Reduced Travel Time: State aircraft utilize smaller close-in airports
thus reducing surface travel time to and from the airport. Increased Safety: The state has operated this flight service for over 21
years, flying more than 52,000 hours without an accident involving damage to
property or personal injury. This equates to more than 10 million miles and
200,000 passengers. Schedule Flexibility: The state aircraft fly when you want, according to
your appointment schedule. Flights may be scheduled for any day of the week, 24
hours a day. Faster Response to Problems: In emergency situations, flights can be
scheduled with as little as 20-30 minutes notice provided aircraft are
available. Reduction in Overnight Stays: In most cases, because of the flexibility
in scheduling and reduced travel time, business can be concluded in one day.
This eliminates the need for an overnight stay. Working En Route: Traveling on state aircraft provides the opportunity to
do business planning or paper work while en route in a fully private
environment. Full opportunity is provided for open discussions and use of
confidential information without fear of compromise. Reduced Costs: Traveling on state aircraft, flight costs can be less than
commercial rates depending on passenger loads. Add to this the cost savings due
to no overnight stays, the cost of time savings, and overall cost can be
significantly reduced in many cases. Lower Fatigue, Increased Productivity: The state aircraft leave when you
want and return as soon as your business is complete. This results in less
travel time, shorter work days, reduced fatigue and increased productivity. |
