Our biggest savings of the year
Lansing Aviation
Strategy and Implementation Summary
Lansing Aviation will be focusing initially on students interested in obtaining their private pilot certificate. These students will primarily come from word-of-mouth-advertising from our instructors, students, and other contacts at Mackinac-Great Lakes Airlines System (M-GLAS). We will attempt to continue teaching these students through their instrument rating course with us, upon completion of their private pilot package.
In order to attract larger sums of money, we will offer a 10-hour block of aircraft rental for $730 ($73/hour) which is reduced from our normal rental rate of $75 per hour. Additionally, we will offer M-GLAS employees the same $73 per hour rate for block or non-block rentals.
