In a recent review of CEO aircraft perquisites at Fortune 100 companies, Equilar reports the following:
- From 2004 to 2005, the median value of Fortune 100 chief executive aircraft perquisites increased by 21.7 percent, rising from $89,246 in 2004 to $108,579 in 2005. (The Equilar report does not that part of this increase results from a shift in the methodology used to value the cost of air travel.)
- Along with an increase in the reported value of CEO aircraft perquisites, the number of companies disclosing the personal use of corporate aircraft rose, climbing from 59.4 percent of public Fortune 100 companies in 2004 to 68.4 percent of companies in 2005.
- In addition, among companies disclosing the use of corporate aircraft by CEOs, the prevalence of companies disclosing the value of this benefit increased from 82.5 percent in 2004 to 93.8 percent in 2005.
