Manage Air Service Programs Based on Pre-Established Benchmarks
Set a RoadMap to Community Air Service Success
When you manage Air Service Programs based on pre-established benchmarks and metrics you set your community on the road to Community air service success.
Community Flights believes you need to manage air service programs. The idea that if you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it, is very applicable to air service development. Communities should pre-set and manage their air service to load factor, yield, cost per seat and return on investment goals to help guide themselves to air service development success.
When you manage air service programs start with knowledge of what success is in setting your benchmarks. If you know that 75% load factor will most likely drive a profitable flight then set 75% load factor as one of your target metrics. Now going forward, if you receive advance booking reports, when your flights are performing below this 75% metric you will be guided through this performance to give more flight support to help improve this metric performance and meet your goals.
Community Flights has developed over 35 best practices and guiding principles for communities looking to improve their air service. The above is just a small sample of a complete guidebook of best practice.
