8 airlines to provide fed discounts

The General Services Administration (GSA) has awarded contracts to eight U.S. air carriers to provide discounted airfares for federal travelers during FY 2024. 

The selected airlines will offer an estimated 53% discount on airfare rates for official government air travel starting Oct. 1 through the agency’s City Pair Program. 

Pre-negotiated City Pair fares are projected to generate approximately $2.4B in FY-24 taxpayer savings related to official travel for federal employees. The awardees are:

  • Alaska Airlines 
  • American Airlines
  • Delta Air Lines
  • Hawaiian Airlines
  • JetBlue Airways
  • Silver Airways
  • Southwest Airlines 
  • United Airlines

GSA selected the air carriers based on the availability of their service, total number of flights, average elapsed flight time and service price. (GovWire 07/18/23) 8 Airlines Book FY 2024 Federal Government Transport Service Contracts - GovCon Wire
