Business Overview
Not unlike a limousine, taxi or courierservice, the largest challenge to overcome in starting an airportshuttle service is to acquire an operator’s license. An operator’slicense can be difficult to get through local government channels inmost areas of the country, and very expensive if you plan to purchaseone from an existing shuttle service.
However, it’s certainly notimpossible to obtain an operator’s license for a shuttle service, andit can be well worth the effort. An airport shuttle service can be avery profitable business to own and operate. Marketing a shuttleservice is best accomplished by building alliances and partnershipswith companies and local businesses that can supply you with customers,such as hotels, tour operators, travel agents, and large corporations.
