NBAA Releases Tips for Using Owner-Flown Aircraft For
Business
Owner-flown aircraft can provide
companies with all of the efficiency, productivity and financial
benefits that can be realized with business aviation. To best serve
company employees who are considering whether an airplane can help
them in the conduct of businesses, the NBAA has put out a new
primer, "How to Use Your Airplane for Business", which provides
practical guidance on how and why companies should consider
allowing the use of personal, employee-flown aircraft for business
purposes.
"NBAA has always promoted the use of aircraft in the conduct of
business, but companies sometimes overlook the idea of putting an
employee's aircraft to work to make business travel efficient and
productive," said Mike Nichols, NBAA vice president of operations,
education & economics. "'How to Use Your Airplane for Business'
provides companies and employee-pilots with the guidance they need
to formulate a policy that will encourage use of personally
operated aircraft in the course of their business."
The resource outlines key advantages for both employees and
employers when utilizing owner-flown aircraft for their business,
and offers advice for employees seeking to convince their employers
of the benefits of using owner-flown aircraft. It also provides
guidance on how to proceed even after the decision to make use of
owner-flown aircraft has been made. Specifically, this includes
direction on how to create a company policy covering the use of the
owner-flown aircraft, and ideas on how to determine policy
goals.
The topics covered in this new NBAA resource will also be the
subject of several education sessions at the upcoming Light
Business Airplane Conference, produced in conjunction with the NBAA
63rd Annual Meeting & Convention (NBAA2010), to be held in
Atlanta, GA, from October 19 to 21, and again later in the year, in
conjunction with the AOPA Aviation Summit in Long Beach, CA, from
November 11 to 13.
Hard copies of the primer are available now from NBAA at
AirVenture.
