ConocoPhillips Launches E145 Shuttle Flights Across the Lower 48 States

ConocoPhillips, a leading American oil and gas corporation, has initiated an exclusive air shuttle service for its employees in the lower 48 states, utilizing an Embraer E145 aircraft, N284CP (msn 14501178). This service aims to streamline transportation for its workforce to various operational sites across the region.

The E145XR, based out of the ConocoPhillips Global Aviation hangar at Houston Intercontinental, will serve key locations including Midland International, Carlsbad, NM, Bartlesville, and Williston Basin International. This strategic deployment of an air shuttle service underscores ConocoPhillips’ commitment to enhancing operational efficiency and employee connectivity.

ADS-B tracking data confirmed the E145XR’s arrival at ConocoPhillips on May 5, following a transfer flight from Alton to Houston. The aircraft commenced operations under the company’s ICAO code ‘CON’ on June 9 with a flight to Alexandria, LA. Previously owned by Intel Aviation (Sacramento Mather), this business jet served the private aviation sector from June 2013 until its acquisition by ConocoPhillips in May 2024.

Additionally, ConocoPhillips manages specialized business aviation units under Part 125M and Part 91 in Alaska and Texas. ConocoPhillips Aviation Alaska, a subsidiary based at Anchorage Ted Stevens, operates a diverse fleet including one DHC-6-400, three DHC-8-Q400s, a Gulfstream Aerospace GVII-G600, and two CASA – Construcciones Aeronáuticas C-212-DFs. This Alaskan branch primarily functions as a fly-in-fly-out carrier, crucial for transporting personnel to the company’s oilfields at Kuparuk and Alpine on the North Slope.

By integrating this E145 shuttle service, ConocoPhillips not only enhances the logistical aspects of its operations but also reinforces its dedication to providing efficient and reliable transport solutions for its employees, ensuring seamless access to remote and critical operational sites.
