Reduced attrition results from the controlled, more effective on-the-job experience for employees with access to business aircraft, as well as shorter travel schedules and greater family time. Attracting vital new hires, who are often courted extensively, is an associated benefit. ..Social responsibility – Using business aircraft for humanitarian or charitable purposes pro-duces intangible benefits; while these are “soft” benefits, they are nonetheless important to a company’s success. ..Charter revenues – To help spread the fixed costs of aircraft ownership, business aircraft users with low periodic or weekend aircraft-utilization can charter their aircraft to third-parties. External charters can be a way for companies to maintain highly efficient aircraft-utilization rates and offset some ownership costs in the process. BUSINESS AVIATION: HUMANITARIAN TOOL Business aviation provides jobs and serves as a profitable business tool when properly used. But there is another side – often overlooked – of business aviation which saves lives in communities around the U.S. Founded in 1981, the Corporate Angel Network (CAN) matches cancer patient requests with empty seats on business aircraft flights. Some patients require dozens of treatments over a period of months or years at hospitals across the country and simply can’t afford the com-mercial airfares; others need to be protected from the risk of infection associated with large groups of people on commercial flights. Each cancer patient is permitted to bring one companion on board. A sick child is permitted to have both parents. Cost of the flight? Absolutely nothing. 中国公务机网 www.gongwuji.com 公务机翻译 www.aviation.cn 本文链接地址：BUSINESS AVIATION – AN ENTERPRISE VALUE PERSPECTIVE 2003 – 2009(16) |
