Google Jet Fleet Loses a Pentagon Fuel Perk
Questions Raised about Founders Use for Non-Government Flights
（WSJ）Google Inc. founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin may have to dig
deeper to operate their fleet of private jets, after the U.S. Department of
Defense ended a little-known arrangement that for years allowed the tech
billionaires to travel on sharply discounted jet fuel bought from the
Pentagon.
The agreement between the Google founders and the government, which started
in 2007, ended Aug. 31 after officials at the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration—which sponsored the arrangement—opted not to renew it,
according to a Pentagon spokeswoman.
The move followed discussions earlier this year between the Pentagon and
NASA over whether the Google founders may have exceeded contract terms by
using fuel for non-government flights, according to a letter from a Pentagon
official released by Sen. Charles Grassley.
Sen. Grassley, an Iowa Republican, said he is seeking an audit of the
arrangement by the Pentagon's inspector general. "Are some executives
getting a special deal on fuel that isn't available to other businesses?" he
asked, saying the setup raises concerns about the government's role as a "
fair broker with businesses and responsible steward of tax dollars."
The relationship with the Google founders already is part of an ongoing
audit by NASA's inspector general, an official in that office said.
The cheap fuel for the Google executives came courtesy of a special
agreement with NASA, whose Ames Research Center is based at Moffett Federal
Airfield, a former U.S. Navy base that is the most convenient airport to
Google's Mountain View, Calif., headquarters, about three miles away.
Although Moffett is closed to most non-government traffic, NASA in 2007
signed a deal allowing H211 LLC, a private company representing jets owned
by the Google founders and Google Chairman Eric Schmidt, to base aircraft at
Moffett. The fleet recently included seven jets and two helicopters. H211
agreed to pay about $1.3 million in annual rent and cost recovery, while
Google separately is leasing some Moffett land for a future office campus. | m******e
