Alpha Flying, Inc., the Portsmouth, NH-based fractional aircraft ownership program, has announced the expansion of its primary service area to include an additional 210,000-square-mile area encompassing parts of Arkansas, Oklahoma, southeast Texas, and Louisiana. The many airports added include Galveston, San Antonio, and Tulsa.
George Antoniadis, founder and CEO of Alpha Flying, says the decision to expand was based on demand from current and prospective owners wishing to fly to and from Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana. PlaneSense has always been positioned as the most sensible fractional program based on the economics and performance of the PC-12. Especially in the current economic environment, PlaneSense has attracted many people who we did not want to turn away," Antoniadis said.
Alpha Flying, which uses Pilatus PC-12s in its program, accepted its first plane in 1995. Since then, the fleet has grown to 35 PC-12s, with two additional aircraft scheduled to arrive by the end of 2008. The average age of the fleet is 2.5 years.
Antoniadis credits this success to the Alpha Flying team's dedication to customer service, its focus on an underserved niche and the choice of the PC-12 with its spacious interior and highly economical operating costs.
