On
occasion there is the stop over that requires something special or something
different. It could be anything from a dinner reservation to a golf time
to a side excursion. Maybe it's a place you always wanted to visit or something
you always wanted to try.
Not only does Skyplan have an internal travel agency, it also has a world
wide network of handling agents, hotel service managers, and contacts that
all have an expert knowledge of their own communities.
Have a special requirement? Or maybe it's just something on your wish list
that you've always wanted to do on that lay over.
Let Skyplan know and we'll do our best to make it happen.
It's
been a very long day in the air. You're tired. Your crew is tired. And if
you are responsible for the passengers in the back of the airplane, they
are probably tired too. You finally have the airplane parked and all buttoned
up. The paperwork for the day has been completed. All you want to do now
is get to the hotel where you can get a bite to eat and relax. Your crew,
and maybe the passengers, are all waiting to go.
But where's the ground transportation?
And then everybody looks at you……
-
Did your operations support
vendor order the transport?
-
Did they confirm that it
was ordered?
-
Was the ground transportation
company told of your ETA and exactly when to be there?
-
Was the ground transportation
company contacted to make sure that they were indeed there and waiting
for you?
Did your operations support vendor take into consideration YOUR requirements:
Things like number of crew and passengers needing transportation, security,
plane side access, English speaking drivers, etc?
When you book your ground transportation through SKYPLAN you get the kind
of transport you ask for, where you want it, and when you want it.
A
Ground Handler is almost always an operational necessity for every stop.
It can be in the form of a Fixed Base Operator or a major airline, or airline
handling company, depending on the type of aircraft you are using and your
operational requirements while at that airport.
An airport Ground Handler is a key on-site manager while your aircraft is
on the ground. It can be responsible for anything from parking and aircraft
security, to the coordination of fueling, ground transportation, customs
& immigration, load & unload, ramp services, catering, and the million other
details that are required when you are transiting an airport.
Many airports provide a number of Ground Handlers to choose from and Skyplan’s
world-wide data base and large network of contacts, and also our continuous
personal experience with these companies, allows us to match the right Handler
with the right aircraft, and at the best possible price. Once the Ground
Handler is selected our constant communications with their staff before
your arrival and during your transit insures a smooth, professional, and
trouble free stop.
