FlyEpic logs 550 flights in first six months of fractional flying

California-based FlyEpic says it has completed more than 550 flights since launching service, with access to 1,762 airports across 11 Western U.S. states. Its fractional program starts at 25 annual flight hours.

  • More than 550 flights since early 2026 launch
  • Access to 1,762 airports in 11 Western states
  • Fleet uses Epic E1000 single-engine turboprops
  • Program starts at 25 flight hours
  • One-sixteenth ownership option begins at 50 annual hours

FlyEpic, a young fractional operator based in San Carlos, California, says it has passed 550 flights in its first months of service. The company flies the Epic E1000, a fast single-engine turboprop aimed at trips to smaller airports that are often awkward by airline.

Its network claim is broad: 1,762 airports across 11 Western states. Early popular routes have connected the San Francisco Bay Area with places such as Casper, Spokane, Colorado Springs, Prescott and Costa Mesa.

This is private aviation’s smaller-aircraft story rather than another long-range jet story. FlyEpic’s fractional offer starts at 25 hours, with a one-sixteenth share at 50 annual hours, plus larger shares. That puts ownership-style access in the same conversation as jet cards and charter for customers who mostly fly regional trips.
