Improvements are Needed in Managing Aircraft Used by Federal Civilian Agencies

Abstract

Civilian agencies in the Federal Government own over 650 aircraft worth at least $340 million. They lease, charter, or rent several thousand more annually. Millions of dollars are spent each year by agencies to acquire and operate the combined civilian Government aircraft fleet. This is done by each agency independently and without any government-wide policy guidance. Each agency has its own policies and procedures for all aspects of aircraft operations and there are extensive variations among agencies. These differences contribute to efficient and uneconomical aircraft programs making Government-wide policy guidance for aircraft programs necessary.
