Nonstop from PDK
Where the Epictakes you
These are our most-flown trips — examples, not a list. We fly to any airport with 2,000 feet of runway or more, which is nearly every public-use field in the country, including the short ones the jets skip. Nonstop to 1,350 statute miles with a full cabin and fuel to spare; block times assume 333 knots plus climb and descent. The Epic flies within the United States; the Bahamas, the Caribbean, Mexico and Central America we arrange on a jet through other certificated carriers. Don’t see yours? Ask.
Inner ring shows 1,350 statute miles from DeKalb-Peachtree — a realistic full-cabin mission with fuel to spare. The outer ring is the Epic’s published maximum range. The Epic flies within the United States; international destinations on the map — the Bahamas, the Caribbean, Mexico, Central America — are trips we arrange on a jet through other certificated carriers. Distances are great-circle from KPDK.
