COLLEGE TRANSPORTATION CASE STUDY

THE CHALLENGE

A Midwest-based university made an exciting deal to move into a larger athletic conference resulting in its team traveling greater distances to unfamiliar cities and airports. The athletic department doesn’t have time to analyze viable alternatives and identify the most reliable yet cost-effective solution for setting up a comprehensive travel schedule.

THE SOLUTION

PJS consulted with the university and provided four viable options for each sport’s specific needs:

  • Using a 30-seat regional aircraft for all flights
  • Using a 50-seat regional jet for all flights
  • Using a 65-seat business class configured aircraft for all flights
  • Using a blend of 30-seat, 50-seat, and 65-seat aircraft on a per-trip and per-team basis

THE RESULT

The university chose option four because it allows teams to adjust based on each specific travel event. By having a variety of aircraft at its disposal, the university utilizes the 30-seat aircraft for shorter distances (for smaller teams like volleyball) or travel using shorter runways. The 50-seat jets made sense for a majority of basketball-related travel, and the 65-seat aircraft for when donors and boosters travel with the team

In addition to the cost savings, teams saved time due to less ground travel to and from airports, fewer overnights in hotels, and less flight time by flying direct. Also, the university gained an academic advantage, as students used time on the charter flights as a study hall and missed fewer classes.
