Private Flight at Airline Price! Advanced Air B350 Super King Air

Fly in an executive aircraft used for airline service! Fly in a nine-passenger Beechcraft B350 Super King Air on an Essential Air Service (EAS) flight to Silver City, New Mexico (Grant County Airport - SVC). The flight, operated by Advanced Air, originated at Albuquerque Sunport (ABQ) and continued on to Phoenix Sky Harbor (PHX). See how it is like to fly private with all the benefits such as no TSA security check, plenty of snacks and drinks, and a view of the flight deck during the flight.

Good to see... I attempted twice, during trips out west from my home on the east coast, to fly Advanced Air on this route and had to cancel because the flight was so delayed (like 5 hours) it was going to interfere with my onward travel. Thank you for this video, as giving them another shot next month to Gallup!

Awe man! Sorry to hear that. I hope timing will work out for you on your next trip.

It bothers me that the government is subsidizing these flights. Why? Seems like another waste of taxpayer dollars.

Basically, the program serves small communities that would not otherwise receive air service in a competitive environment. You can read about the EAS program here: www.transportation.gov/policy/aviation-policy/small-community-rural-air-service/essential-air-service
