Australian aviation operator Alliance Airlines is encouraging event organisers, businesses, travel planners and groups to think beyond traditional commercial airline booking.
From destination weddings and sporting events to corporate incentives, film productions and music festivals, Alliance is putting the possibilities of private group air travel on the radar of Australians.
The operator has charter aircraft available for groups of approximately 75 to 110 passengers travelling to destinations across the country.
With the flexibility to tailor flights to specific group requirements, chartering an aircraft can provide an attractive alternative to coordinating large numbers of passengers across multiple commercial flights, particularly when travelling to regional destinations or for time-sensitive events.
Alliance can work with charter organisers to develop flight arrangements suited to their group’s destination, timing and travel requirements, subject to operational considerations and aircraft availability.
For organisers managing the travel arrangements of 70 or more people, a dedicated charter flight can simplify the journey considerably.
Instead of relying on multiple commercial flight bookings, varying departure times, and complicated connections, group organisers can explore a coordinated travel solution tailored to their event.
Depending on the itinerary and operational requirements, charter flights may also provide opportunities to access regional airports and destinations that are not conveniently served by scheduled commercial services.
For tourism operators and regional destinations, dedicated charter services could also create new opportunities to attract group visitors, stage major events and develop travel packages.
With Australia hosting an expanding calendar of sporting competitions, music festivals, conferences, destination celebrations and major cultural events, Alliance Airlines believes there is significant potential for charter aviation to support group travel and regional tourism.
The ability to move a large group directly to a destination can deliver benefits beyond the flight itself, with visitors supporting local accommodation providers, restaurants, transport operators, attractions and event businesses.
For regional tourism destinations, a single charter flight carrying 100 passengers could mean 100 additional visitors arriving together, creating opportunities for local businesses and event organisers.
Group travel organisers, travel agents, professional conference organisers, event companies and corporate travel managers are encouraged to contact Alliance Airlines to discuss charter opportunities.
