Does your company spend over $50,000 annually on air travel?  Huntsville International Airport needs you to be an active member of our community’s Business Travel Council (BTC). This group plays a vital role in shaping and enhancing the Airport’s air service development efforts.

Currently, HSV is gathering corporate air travel data and asks community partners to participate. Passenger air service is a vital component to the economic health of our community and it requires the support of all.  In today’s economic climate, airlines are not only looking at growing markets and new opportunities, but are interested in the corporate culture and support within the community. Through your participation, the Airport’s team hopes to share the latest trends and most accurate business travel forecast with potential new air carriers and airlines that already service HSV. Your participation is very important!

How your company can play a role in Huntsville’s Air Service Development:

• Participate in Annual Air Service Spring Survey:

                Top destinations and number of trips

                Estimated annual air travel budget

                Demand for two classes of service

                Company travel coordinator

                Desired destinations

                Key drivers in the decision making process

                Company incentives

• Participate and respond to requests for Airline Meetings and support (HSV or Headquarters)

• Identify the most efficient way to communicate with companies (email, calls, etc.)

• Recommend other companies for BTC participation

• Contact HIA when your business grows in existing or new markets; gaps in fares between HSV, BNA and BHM, experience bad airline customer service-cancellations, delays, baggage delivery and inability to rent cars at airport
