This excerpt taken from the GOOG DEF 14A filed Mar 24, 2009. Corporate Use of Personal Aircraft Eric Schmidt has the use of non-commercial aircraft that he makes available from time to time to various aviation companies for charters by these companies to their customers. These aircraft have been chartered by Google from time to time and made available to certain of our executive officers for time-critical business trips. In 2008, we paid Elan Express and Sentient Flight Group, LLC $7,500 per hour for use of these aircraft. The board of directors approved this hourly reimbursement rate based upon a competitive analysis of comparable chartered aircraft and which our board of directors determined was at or below market rates for the charter of similar aircraft. In 2008, we used these aircraft for business-related travel services for certain of our executive officers and we paid Elan and Sentient approximately $839,250 in fees through December 31, 2008.
