Defense Logistics: Space-Available Travel Challenges May Be Exacerbated If Eligibility Expands

This report assesses the space-available travel program, which is a privilege given to members of the armed forces to provide some relief from the rigors of duty when members are on leave. This report provides information on (1) the number of passengers that used the space-available travel program from 2009 through 2011, and (2) the effect that an increase in eligible travelers may have on the usage of the space-available program, adherence to DOD’s original intent for the program, and air terminal logistics and maintenance.
