Eagle Air Aviation

Eagle Air is an aviation company based at Capital City Airport in New Cumberland, in the Harrisburg area of Central Pennsylvania. Its FAA certificate lists a Beechcraft King Air 350, a large twin turboprop that can carry up to around nine passengers and use shorter runways than most jets.

A major part of its work is organ and transplant transport. The company says it runs on demand helicopter and jet flights for transplant centres and organ procurement organisations around the clock, with the aim of cutting transport time for transplant teams.

It also offers private charter for business travel, getaways and short notice trips, and says it coordinates the aircraft, crew, airports and flight planning for each trip. It flies government and special missions for agencies and partners, and it lists charter brokerage among its services.

For aircraft owners, the company offers management covering flight operations, crew, maintenance coordination, compliance and scheduling, with optional charter, and acquisition support from aircraft selection and inspections through to entry into service. It says an on site maintenance team supports both its own fleet and managed aircraft. From Harrisburg, a King Air can reach Pittsburgh, New York, Washington and much of the Northeast in about an hour.
