General Information
A. Space available air transportation is a privilege extended to active duty military members, Department of Defense (DoD) civilians, retired military personnel, and their dependents. This program is governed by DoD Regulation 4515.13R, Air Transportation Eligibility. Prior to acceptance, all personnel must meet the requirements outlined in this regulation.
B. Traveling space available on DoD owned or controlled aircraft is subject to mission requirements. Aircraft departing Bangor ANG are normally configured for the movement of official duty passengers and/or cargo. Once all duty passengers are accommodated, any remaining seats will then be offered to our space available passengers. Every attempt will be made to utilize all available seats.
C. 101st ARW cannot guarantee seats to space available passengers. The acceptance of a space available passenger for a flight does not obligate the US Government or 101st ARW to continue their travel or return passengers to their point of origin. Since complete travel to the desired destination cannot be guaranteed, space available passengers should be prepared to defray the cost of onward (or return) movement by commercial transportation, along with other essential personal expenses.
