# 301-10.260 Use of Government aircraft.

Agencies may authorize Federal travelers, non-Federal travelers, and any other passengers, as defined in § 300-1.1 of this subtitle, to travel on Government aircraft, subject to the rules in this subpart. Because the taxpayers generally should pay no more than necessary for transportation of travelers, except for required use travel, agencies may authorize travel on Government aircraft only when a Government aircraft is the most cost-effective mode of travel and the traveler is traveling for governmental purposes. Employees may use Government aircraft for travel only when authorized by an executive agency under specific rules except with regard to travel under § 301-70.802 of this chapter.
