- Program uses Epic E1000 turboprops
- Popular routes include Bay Area to Colorado

FlyEpic has put a number on its early traction: 550 flights since launching its fractional program in early 2026. The service uses the Epic E1000, a fast single-engine turboprop aimed at owners and flyers who do not need a jet for every mission.
The route pattern is the interesting part. AIN says popular trips connect the Bay Area with Colorado, Wyoming and Arizona, markets where smaller airports, mountain destinations and leisure travel can favor turboprops over larger jets.
For private flyers, this shows how fractional flying is spreading beyond traditional light and midsize jets. Turboprops can be cheaper to operate and well suited to shorter runways, while still offering private-terminal convenience. A 550-flight start suggests there is room for more specialized fractional products, not just the big national jet programs.
