Meet the Fleet
OUR FLEET
Direct2 operates a modern, mixed fleet to meet a variety of your transportation needs.
Every aircraft on our certificate is maintained under an FAA-approved inspection program, flown by pilots trained on type under our own FAA-approved curriculum, and operated under a Safety Management System built to 14 CFR Part 5.
The E1000 is the fastest civilian single-engine turboprop in production, and it is built eight miles from our hangar. An all-carbon-fiber airframe on a 1,200-shaft-horsepower Pratt & Whitney PT6A-67A gives it jet-like cruise speed — 333 knots, or roughly 385 miles per hour — at a fraction of a light jet's fuel burn. It climbs to 34,000 feet in about eighteen minutes and needs only about 2,250 feet of runway. Inside, it features executive club seating, 53 inches of cabin width and Starlink high-speed connectivity

The DA62 is the most economical aircraft we operate, and for short regional missions it is often the smartest one. Two 180-horsepower Austro diesel engines burn jet fuel at a combined fifteen gallons an hour while carrying up to 4 passengers in a carbon-fiber airframe with a 47-foot wingspan. It is quiet, it is exceptionally efficient, and with twin engines and short-field performance it will comfortably work airports that larger aircraft cannot. For a one-hour hop with four passengers and bags, nothing else in the fleet comes close on cost.

The Vision Jet is the most approachable jet in private aviation and, for a lot of trips, the most sensible. A single Williams FJ33 turbofan pushes it to 311 knots at 31,000 feet — above most weather — with a cabin wide enough at five feet to feel like a jet rather than a cockpit, and 30 cubic feet of baggage space. It is also the only certified aircraft in the world with a whole-airframe parachute and Garmin Safe Return emergency autoland, which is a conversation many clients want to have and one we are glad to have.

The Phenom 100 is the fleet's long-leg aircraft. Two Pratt & Whitney turbofans take it to 41,000 feet at 390 knots, above weather and traffic, with an Oberon-quiet cabin designed by BMW Designworks and 70 cubic feet of baggage across two compartments — genuinely enough for golf clubs or ski bags. Twin engines, a full lavatory and an airliner-standard flight deck make it the aircraft we reach for when the trip is longer, the passenger count is higher, or the client simply wants a jet.
