Airport Selection Strategy
Based aircraft availability at Ørsta-Volda Airport, Hovden directly impacts charter pricing. Airports with more locally based jets generate lower positioning costs. If ENOV has limited based aircraft, the charter operator repositions from the nearest base, adding 30 to 60 minutes of flight time at the hourly rate.
