The Mid-Michigan Business Travel Coalition is an organization dedicated to promoting the best possible air service in the greater Lansing region through LAN. The coalition consists of organizations that share its mission to support the best interests of business travelers in the region, retain current air service at LAN and strategically support efforts to secure new air service in the region. Coalition members recognize that quality air service is a critical component in the overall economic development strategy, and that LAN is a major economic driver in the region.
Mission
The coalition's primary mission is to better understand and help meet the needs of business travelers and seek broader participation in the coalition from the greater Lansing region business community.
Priorities
- Understand the region's business travelers' preferred flight schedules and use the preferences to help retain and/or justify possible changes/optimizations of existing flight schedules.
- Quantify the frequency and causes of delays/cancellations of the current flight service and work with the respective airlines to reduce the frequency.
- Propose and justify additional service through either new destinations or increased frequency to existing routes.
