Prepared routing guide from alternative locations to provide options for Next Flight Out, On-Board Courier and Charter services to the Bay Area.
Challenge
- More than 1,000 private jets were expected to descend on the San Francisco Bay area for Super Bowl 50, making it one of the biggest private jet events of the year.
- Customers paying between $35,000 and $85,000 for private flights to see the game expected on time arrival and departure. Hundreds of aircraft were to be stacked up for take-off once the game was over. Any technical delays could be compounded with the number of aircraft planning to depart. Private jet companies turned to their OEM for contingency solutions to ensure that key ''no go'' parts were available and close by. They also wanted an expedited delivery option in place for parts located in more remote warehouses.
