Didn't one company communication suggest charter could be up to 10% of our block hours? And then we haven't heard or seen a thing about it again?
We're they supposed to be ICE deportation flights? College sports charters? Apple Vacation?
What happened? And what does a new CEO man for them? Only time will tell i suppose.
Charters have been worked into the schedules as much as they can, especially now since its holidays, most are slowing due to colleges being out, etc.
I did one of the first charters we had and they baked it into a flight schedule to not have completely empty planes on the repo flights, we actually ended up having like 15 going down and 2 completely full 321's for the charter, then the leg back to base was like 130 pax on what normally would have been an empty leg.
They want to mainly cater towards high volume charters or college teams, which is possible. In the end, the charter could be more, it just depends on what they want to do. They have no intention of doing deportation flights. That is Avelo's job.
