Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao flew on taxpayer-funded government planes seven times this year, The Washington Post reported Thursday.
It appears the flights were taken when cheaper options wouldn't work, last-minute changes were made to Chao’s schedule or it was more time-efficient to do so.
As Transportation chief, Chao has access to a small fleet of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) jets that have served the travel needs of other transportation secretaries and are regularly loaned out to other government agencies.
