State Department: State Has Initiated a More Systematic Approach for Managing Its Aviation Fleet

Abstract

Despite some improvements since 2004, INL has not yet employed a systematic process for managing its aviation fleet that adheres to OMB and GSA guidance intended to help federal programs ensure that they acquire, manage, and modernize their aircraft in a cost-effective manner. However, in October 2006, INL began a number of initiatives to improve compliance with this guidance. The guidance entails three key principles: (1) assessing a programs long-term fleet requirements, (2) acquiring the most cost-effective fleet of aircraft to meet those requirements, and (3) assessing fleet performance.
