Murray Air Reaches 10,000 Passenger Milestone

Murray Air, Inc. shuttled over 10,000 passengers for 2005. The on-demand air cargo firm recently expanded its focus to include transporting passengers as part of its business services.

Primarily catering to Fortune 500 companies, Murray Air transports corporate employees to various destinations such as plants and regional offices which may not be easily assessable via scheduled airlines. Many companies have determined that the time savings for their employees contributes to increased productivity and less time lost to travel.

Passenger destinations include Toronto, Ontario; Rockford, Illinois; Kokomo, Indiana; St. Louis, Missouri; and Wilmington, Delaware. These locations are not served as frequently or conveniently by larger passenger airlines. Murray Air uses private facilities thus eliminating long lines and crowded terminals. Due to the frequency of the Murray Air shuttles, passengers can often attend a one-day meeting and be back at the home office for the next business day.
Murray Air forecasts it will increase the number of passengers it transports, estimating 15,000 people will fly on its planes in 2006. Expected expansion into Mexico will account for a significant portion of the increase.
