13Asian Business Aviation Conference Exhibition
2005 INFORMATION SESSION
Successful airport handlers understand the basic
differences between airline and corporate
aviation behaviors.
- Airlines dictate the behavior of passengers.
- They tell passengers how much to pay
(available ticket prices), when to travel (flight
- times), when to check-in and when to board
, where to sit (aisle or window choices), - what to eat (few choices of airline
catering), what to drink (few choices of
beverages). - Airlines do not provide custom services for
passengers (other than dietary meals or
handicapped assistance). - Their basic reason for existence is to get
passengers from point A to B, with no - further responsibility or obligations.
- Airlines control all aspects of checked and
hand-carry luggage. Quantity, weight, size,
and most importantly - contents - Airlines choose city-pair or hub route
structures which limit - freedom of choice.
14Asian Business Aviation Conference Exhibition

In contrast, the corporate aviation passenger
determines the behavior of the airport handler.
- Corporate passengers determine business
schedules for departures and arrivals.
(where and when to fly) - Corporate passengers decide specific catering
orders. (custom meals) - Corporate passengers determine own luggage
requirements. (No limits to personal
baggage) - Corporate operators choose handlers based on
ability to provide the best service in a
safe, secure, and comfortable environment.
