Chartered Air Travel

Chartered air travel may be approved by an appropriate administrator when it serves the University’s best interests, particularly in terms of cost-effectiveness and time efficiency. Justifications for charter use may include savings on transportation, lodging, meals, and productivity.

Eligibility Criteria

Charter flights may be considered under the following circumstances:

• Commercial air travel is unavailable or impractical for the destination or schedule.

• Group travel where chartering is more economical than individual commercial fares.

• Significant time savings can be achieved compared to commercial options.

• A late commercial return would hinder next-day work responsibilities.

• An urgent off-campus commitment arises and no reasonable commercial alternatives exist.

Approval Process

• All charter travel must be approved in advance.

• Requests must include a business justification outlining the cost and time benefits of chartered travel.
