Default Business Class Travel

Which companies provide Business Class travel during positioning flights?
What conditions must be met (ie., minimum flight time, international only, etc.)?

Thanks

Atlas: Essentially International Dead Heads and Domestic Deadheads of at least 4:30 according to the airlines published schedule.

Gateway Travel is economy. However, alternate travel could net you business or better to or from home if your first lor last leg is a DH to or from your base.

The company fully utilizes our 777 and 747 freighters for International DH travel before buying a commercial ticket, as well as the 767 on domestic legs.

ABX does on flights which meet certain conditions that for all practical purposes limits it to transoceanic deadheads, of which there are not many. We also have a contract provision that requires aisle or window seats on any commercial deadhead and provides monetary compensation if a middle seat is all that's available.

FedEx - Higher class of service is required when:
Domestic DH over 5:00 block (total of all flights in the duty period)
Internationally over 2:30 (again, total of all flights in DP)
Long haul must be lay flat seat (i.e. if not lay flat in business class, first class required)
Over 18 hours of duty on deadhead, requires non-stop flight
