US ConocoPhillips begins E145 shuttle flights

American oil and gas giant ConocoPhillips reports that it has started offering an air shuttle service to its employees in the lower 48 states of the country using an E145, N284CP (msn 14501178).

ConocoPhillips Aviation bases the aircraft at ConocoPhillips Global Aviation’s hangar at Houston Intercontinental for flights to Midland International, Carlsbad, N.M., Bartlesville and Williston Basin International.

ADS-B data shows that the E145XR was delivered to ConocoPhillips on May 5 after a flight from Alton to Houston. Its first flight under the company’s ICAO code “CON” occurred on June 9, with a flight to Alexandria, LA. The bizjet had only one previous owner, Intel Aviation (Sacramento Mather), a private airline that operated it between June 2013 and May 2024.

ConocoPhillips operates Part 125M and Part 91 business aviation units in Alaska and Texas, and its subsidiary ConocoPhillips Aviation Alaska (CON, Anchorage Ted Stevens) has a fleet of one DHC-6-400, three DHC-8-Q400s, one Gulfstream Aerospace GVII-G600 and two CASA – Construcciones Aeronáuticas C-212-DFs, according to the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration’s ch-aviation fleets module and registry. The Alaskan operator functions primarily as a fly-in, fly-out carrier, ferrying workers to the company’s two North Slope oil fields in Kuparuk and Alpine.
