Airport Selection Strategy

Based aircraft availability at Military Airfield of Santa Margarida directly impacts charter pricing. Airports with more locally based jets generate lower positioning costs. If LP77 has limited based aircraft, the charter operator repositions from the nearest base, adding 30 to 60 minutes of flight time at the hourly rate.
