Liftbrief / Newsletter drafts
What should the quarter’s action calendar look like?
These are suggested internal milestones, not external deadlines:
| Target period | Accountable person | Deliverable |
|---|---|---|
| 19–30 October | Travel or procurement lead | Representative mission set and comparable supplier requests |
| November | Executive office and aviation contact | Recovery exercise, escalation contacts and spending authorities |
| By 15 December | CFO or family office COO | Renewal decision with utilisation scenarios and balance exposure |
| Before any material payment | Authorised approver | Current agreement, counterparty verification and unresolved-issues record |
Bottom line: A useful year-end decision file should explain why the mission needs private travel, why the proposed aircraft fits, what the buyer is committing and who must act if the original plan fails. Keep those questions visible even when the hourly price looks attractive.
