Airport Selection Strategy
Based aircraft availability at Tom Danaher Airport directly impacts charter pricing. Airports with more locally based jets generate lower positioning costs. If 7TX0 has limited based aircraft, the charter operator repositions from the nearest base, adding 30 to 60 minutes of flight time at the hourly rate.
