“This is about changing the entrepreneurial spirit,” Brad Bruce, flight department manager of ADI Corporate Shuttle Services, told AIN. “By minimizing or eliminating many of the barriers to travel, corporate shuttles allow business opportunities to be more readily considered and acted upon. Business cultures and their strategies change as markets, facilities and customers in other, often rural areas of the country–once practically unreachable and thus unconsidered– are newly accessible.”
Bruce said ADI has operated and managed corporate shuttles using various business aircraft for Du Pont, General Motors, Global Crossing of North America and Dow Chemical since 1985. “In 2000, at the urging of some of our customers, we began looking at the possibility of a corporate shuttle using larger aircraft,” he said. “What we discovered was a substantial need by various corporations to move groups of 30 employees and more between major business centers that are not served, or are underserved, by the airlines.”
