The company also intends to launch a third aspect to its business, Ultimate Jet Management, offering operational support to businesses with their own aircraft.Дespite success in other areas, Pawlak said the company wants and intends to bring back scheduled air service toВ Cleveland,В CincinnatiВ and other cities, when the time is right. вЂњBut we have no availability.вЂќД¬ompounding the problem: About half of the companyвЂ™s 10 aircraft are out of commission, in need of maintenance and awaiting parts, in some cases from overseas. вЂњWe could have filled 10 planes,вЂќ he said. 31, the company has logged numerous calls requesting transportation toВ Dallas. Pawlak said the company canвЂ™t keep up with demand for charter flights.ДЇor example, in the short time since it was announced that theВ University of CincinnatiВ would play in theВ Cotton BowlВ onВ Dec. вЂњWeвЂ™re very hopeful that when the pandemic is gone and business travel is back, Ultimate Air Shuttle will be back, too.вЂќДЇor now, Ultimate will concentrate on another side of its business, Ultimate JetCharters, providing charter service primarily for sporting events and casino junkets. вЂњItвЂ™s really disheartening, where we were pre-COVID and where we are now,вЂќ he said. The company flies 30-seat Dornier 328 jets and needs 20-plus passengers per flight to make the business model work. вЂњWe had some days that were sold out, and others that were in the single digits,вЂќ saw Pawlak. Then, inВ April 2021, Ultimate tried again вЂ“ launchingВ ClevelandВ toВ CincinnatiВ flights, thenВ CincinnatiВ toВ AtlantaВ andВ CincinnatiВ toВ NashvilleВ routes. It restarted in July of that year, but shut down again in September. The carrier shut down inВ March 2020, when travel came to a halt worldwide. In fact, Ultimate had plans to increase the route to three times daily in 2020, just as the pandemic hit. TheВ Cleveland-to-В CincinnatiВ flight was an immediate hit, flying between Burke and CincinnatiвЂ™s smallВ Lunken Airport, just east of downtown. Ultimate launched service from Burke in 2015, the first scheduled flights from the small downtown airport in nearly a decade. Travel experts say it could be another year or two before business travel returns to pre-pandemic levels. вЂњWhile we are saddened by the news of their departure, we are hopeful of their intentions to return once business travel begins to see recovery,вЂќ he said. He noted that leisure travel is making a much quicker comeback inВ ClevelandВ than business travel. The company will lay off nine employees, based inВ Cleveland,В CincinnatiВ andВ Green, Pawlak said.Д¬levelandВ airport directorВ Robert Kennedy, who oversees operations at both Burke and Cleveland Hopkins, said the departure ofВ Ultimate AirВ will have a minimal effect on airport finances. Pawlak, however, isnвЂ™t ruling out a resumption of service, perhaps next year, if business travel picks up. вЂњThe pandemic isnвЂ™t cutting us many breaks, still.вЂќ вЂњWe built this thing around the business traveler,вЂќ saidВ Rick Pawlak, senior vice president atВ Ultimate Air, which is based at theВ Akron-Canton Airport. The route was popular with lawyers, bankers and other business travelers вЂ“ until the pandemic brought business travel to a near-halt in early 2020. Since 2015, the carrier has offered a popular weekday route toВ Cincinnati, connecting two of OhioвЂ™s largest cities via a scenic, 45-minute flight.
