Expands Throughout Southern US

Portsmouth, NH-based fractional aircraft ownership program Alpha Flying, Inc. announced this week the expansion of its primary service area to include an additional rectangular area covering approximately 210,000 square miles encompassing parts of Arkansas, Oklahoma, southeast Texas, and Louisiana. Among the airports to be added are Galveston, San Antonio, and Tulsa.

George Antoniadis, founder and CEO of Alpha Flying, said 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," he said. "Especially in the current economic environment, PlaneSense has attracted many people whom we did not want to turn away. We have worked hard over the past months on the operational aspects to ensure that we will continue to provide the same high level of service that our current aircraft share owners have come to expect from the PlaneSense Program."

Alpha Flying accepted its first Pilatus PC-12s 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.
