Report Summary

Several viable options are available that could meet the travel needs of state officials and employees at a lower cost than the current executive aircraft pool. These include selling the jet aircraft and using only turboprop planes, reducing the number of planes in the fleet, and outsourcing some or all air transportation services for officials other than the Governor. There are advantages and disadvantages associated with each of these options.
