No service to Montgomery Airport available. Cadets should inform their parents of shuttle dates so flights can be scheduled to correspond with shuttle bus departures.

Time beyond allotted wait time is billed at an additional $20.00 per hour rounded to the nearest quarter-hour. Trips after normal business hours will be billed at double the rate.
