# 301-70.904 Travel authorization requirement for Government aircraft passengers.

Every traveler on one of the agency's Government aircraft must have a written travel authorization from an authorizing executive agency, and they must present that authorization, before the flight, to the aircraft management office or its representative in the organization that owns or hires the Government aircraft. In addition to all passengers, those crewmembers and qualified non-crewmembers on a flight in which they are also traveling (*i.e.,* being transported from point to point) are considered travelers and must also be authorized to travel on Government aircraft.
