Private air transportation service must be authorized by the traveler's dean, vice president, or designee, or in the case of a traveler employed by the Medical Center, the Medical Center Chief Executive Officer, and approved by the vice president and chief financial officer (VP/CFO), the executive vice president/chief operating officer (EVP/COO), or president of the University.
Scheduling
Priority will be given to the Office of the President in reserving the University’s airplane. All other units will be scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis. During a scheduling conflict, the University’s Flight Services Office can schedule other air transportation resources for the requesting unit. Weather, airport services, the airplane’s condition, crew requirements, and flight operational hours can impact a client's desired itinerary. Flight decisions are made by the Pilot in Command. Safety is the first consideration.
Tips for a successful itinerary
- Contact the flight services department to plan an itinerary as early as possible.
- Remember the President's Office takes priority in scheduling flights.
- Build contingency plans for unexpected issues. Clients are responsible for additional charges for flight hours and pilot expenses (meals, hotels, etc.) due to unanticipated changes to the itinerary (i.e., weather conditions at the destination may cause delays).
- Flight operating hours are generally 6 AM to midnight. Clients requesting itineraries outside these hours or requesting itineraries with extensive wait time between legs may require the client and the flight services department to work together to adjust itineraries to align with safe operating procedures.
To obtain flight time estimates or to make reservations, please contact Flight Services at 434-531-4727.
