FlyEpic has launched a fractional aircraft ownership program built around the Epic E1000 turboprop single. Announced yesterday, the program allows customers to purchase shares beginning at one-sixteenth ownership, which includes 50 flight hours annually for $285,000.&nbsp;
Larger one-eighth and one-quarter shares are also available. Additionally, the company is offering a one-time introductory charter program of 25 flight hours for $100,000 for qualified fractional buyers.
The program includes guaranteed availability, dedicated flight crews, and maintenance support. FlyEpic intends to serve entrepreneurs and investors seeking shared aircraft access, with a focus on connecting cities and towns throughout the West Coast of the U.S. and beyond.
According to FlyEpic, its model is designed to provide a predictable ownership experience without the full cost and logistics of whole aircraft ownership. “We believe private aircraft ownership shouldn’t just be about exclusivity. It should be about access, performance, and reimagining what’s possible,” said FlyEpic founding CEO Toby Woods
The E1000 can climb to 34,000 feet in about 20 minutes and cruise at 385 mph with a range of 1,200 nm. FlyEpic's aircraft are configured to seat up to four passengers and include onboard connectivity.
