Charter of an Epic E1000 starts at $1,300 to $1,800 per flight hour. Built since 2020, the E1000 seats up to five passengers with a range of 1560 nautical miles and a 333-knot cruise speed, among the fastest of any single-engine turboprop. A single Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-67A engine powers an all-carbon-fiber airframe, a genuine departure from the aluminum construction most turboprops use. Hogani Jets coordinates each Epic E1000 charter through licensed Part 135 operators.

Most turboprops trade speed for cost savings. The Epic E1000 narrows that trade-off more than almost any other aircraft in its class.

At 333 knots, it cruises faster than many light jets manage. That speed comes from an airframe built entirely from carbon fiber composite, not the aluminum construction most competitors use.

Epic Aircraft has built the E1000 since 2020, after winning FLYING Magazine's Innovation Award that same year. A single Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-67A engine and an all-composite airframe define this generation.

Most turboprops use aluminum airframes, a design choice that dates back decades. The E1000 uses carbon fiber composite throughout instead.

That lighter structure is a real part of why this aircraft cruises faster than most single-engine turboprops. It also allows larger cabin windows and a wider cross-section than a traditional metal fuselage typically permits.

Epic has built two versions of the E1000 since 2020. The original GX model remains the more common production configuration.

A newer AX model adds enhanced avionics, additional safety certifications, and Starlink satellite WiFi as standard equipment. Confirm which version a specific aircraft carries when booking if connectivity matters for your trip.

The E1000 has no onboard lavatory, a genuine trade-off for its compact, speed-focused design. This is worth planning around on longer flights.

A turboprop typically trades a light jet's cruise speed for a lower hourly rate. The E1000 narrows that gap further than almost any other turboprop on the market.

Lower cost: $1,300 to $1,800 per hour versus $2,500 to $3,500 for a light jet.
Closer cruise speed: 333 knots versus 480 knots or faster for a light jet, a narrow gap here.
Fewer seats: up to 5 passengers versus 5 to 9 for most light jets.
Best mission: fast regional trips for 2 to 4 passengers wanting near-jet speed at turboprop cost.

The E1000 seats up to five passengers, typically four when an operator flies with two pilots.

Ergonomic leather seats with recline and swivel functionality are standard.
Large windows, made possible by the composite airframe, bring in more natural light than most turboprops.
Some aircraft include Starlink WiFi as standard equipment, particularly newer AX models.
There is no onboard lavatory; confirm trip length expectations at booking.

The E1000 performs best on fast regional routes. Its cruise speed narrows the gap with a light jet while keeping the hourly rate well below one.

The most common cross-shop comparisons are the Piper M600/SLS and the Pilatus PC-12 NGX. The M600/SLS has an emergency autoland system; the PC-12 NGX is larger but slower. The E1000 wins on outright cruise speed; the PC-12 NGX wins on cabin room.

Every Epic E1000 charter operator's Part 135 certificate, insurance coverage, and safety record is independently reviewed before booking. ARGUS, Wyvern, or IS-BAO ratings are considered where they exist as one part of that review.

The E1000 carries Garmin G1000 NXi avionics with terrain awareness and traffic alerting. Hogani Jets does not operate the aircraft. Every charter is conducted by a licensed Part 135 direct air carrier under that carrier's independent operational control.

The Epic E1000 is a strong fit on fast regional legs. The following Hogani Jets route pages cover its most relevant charter corridors.

How much does it cost to charter an Epic E1000?

Epic E1000 charter rates run $1,300 to $1,800 per flight hour, a premium within the turboprop category. One-way trip pricing ranges from about $5,800 for short hops to $12,300 or more on longer legs. Final cost depends on route, positioning, and season.

What makes the Epic E1000 different from other turboprops?

Its airframe is built entirely from carbon fiber composite, unlike the aluminum construction most turboprops use. That lighter structure is part of why it cruises at 333 knots, among the fastest speeds in its class.

What is the difference between the E1000 GX and AX models?

The GX is the original production configuration. The newer AX model adds enhanced avionics, additional safety certifications, and Starlink WiFi as standard equipment.

How many passengers can the Epic E1000 carry?

The E1000 seats up to five passengers with a single pilot. Some operators fly with two pilots instead, reducing passenger capacity to four.

Does the Epic E1000 have a pressurized cabin?

Yes. The E1000 is genuinely pressurized, unlike some rugged utility turboprops in the same general size class.

Does the Epic E1000 have a lavatory?

No. This is a genuine limitation of the aircraft's compact, speed-focused design, worth planning around on longer flights.

How fast does the Epic E1000 fly?

The E1000 cruises at up to 333 knots true airspeed (383 mph). That's among the fastest cruise speeds of any single-engine turboprop.

Are empty leg flights available on the Epic E1000?

Yes. The Epic E1000's regional positioning creates empty-leg opportunities at meaningful savings off standard one-way rates. Availability is short-notice and date-fixed, so Hogani Jets recommends flexibility when chasing empty-leg pricing.

Is Hogani Jets a direct air carrier?

No. Hogani Jets is an air charter broker and does not own or operate aircraft. All Epic E1000 charters are facilitated through licensed Part 135 direct air carriers, holding full operational and regulatory control.
