AS LOW AS 30 MINUTES
Get to a number of major cities like Chicago, Indianapolis, Detroit, and Cleveland in a matter of minutes compared to the time it takes to drive or fly commercial!
30 TO 90 MINUTES

For our pilots, flying isn’t only a career, it’s a lifestyle propelled by passion. That passion is present in everything we do — from continuous education through frequent recurrent training to delivering a first-class experience every time we fly.
