Airport Dining

Frequent fliers and recurring riders are our bread and butter here at Transgap. Many of our top clients criss-cross around the globe and we would like to remind them that we are always available (transgaplimo.com; 301 717-8796) to arrange transportation wherever they may be.

Now that most airlines have given up offering food as part of their service, we have decided to cover airline food in today's blog entry. In order to help facilitate ease of access, we have culled together a list of links that should be beneficial if you find yourself at one of these airports.

Local Airports

Fallout from Icelandic Eruption

Over 100,000 flights have been canceled around the world as a direct result of the recent volcanic eruption in Iceland. The Eyjafjallajokull volcano – located ~75 miles from the capital of Reykjavik – first erupted on April 14th spewing ash into the atmosphere that was drifting at 18,000 to 33,000 feet above sea level; the same altitude that civilian jetliners fly.
The spread of the volcanic ash moved east and disrupted air traffic in much of Europe disrupting major airport traffic hubs in Europe – including Oslo, Berlin, London, Paris, Warsaw and St. Petersberg – as they had to cancel flights.

While it seems that the worst is over, the backlog of travel passengers from the natural disaster could take weeks to work through. Tomorrow, 75% of the flights in European airspace should be operational.

This unfortunate chain of events has caused a ripple effect that has impacted diverse and disparate groups of people far removed from the epicenter – including us here at Transgap. 75-80% of our clientele are in business related fields and a few have had to cancel trips as a result of the volcano.

If you have been adversely affected, or left stranded far from friends and family, there are a few options available to assuage any anxiety.

• Skype is a free software application that allows users to make voice calls over the Internet and is an easy way to keep in touch with relatives, friends and family.
• http://www.skype.com/
  
• For our clients who are unable to attend business meetings, GoToMeeting is an easy Web Conferencing service that allows you to host online meetings.

And, of course, if you have any special transportation needs we would be happy to assist you. If any of our clients have any stories to share, or would like to comment, please feel free to do so.

What We Do

History of Transgap

The roots of Transgap can be traced back to 1997 when we started with a single Lincoln Town Car in the Washington D.C. Metro Area. Today, we have a fleet of vehicles as well as a group of professional and experienced drivers that have a deep understanding of local areas. We recently opened up an office in Baltimore and Mr. Dylan Springmann is in charge of that location. We hope to copy this model in our future business plans.

Plans for Expansion

As part of our expansion into new markets, we have started providing services in New York, Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles, Boston and Orlando. If you need transportation in any of these locations please let us know.

Partnerships?

We also welcome hotels, travel agencies and national corporations to contact us if they are in need of any services that we can render.
