Corporate Flight Management (Smyrna) will commence its own scheduled passenger operations on March 15 with multiple daily return flights between Nashville International and Tupelo. Flights operate on-board Jetstream 31 aircraft.
The route is an Essential Air Services (EAS) contract awarded to the carrier in December last year after previous operator SeaPort Airlines (Portland International) withdrew citing a flightcrew shortage.
Until now, CFM had operated as an ACMI/charter specialist employing a fleet of four Jetstream 41s, one CRJ200, three Saab 340Bs (all of which are in service for Fly GLO (New Orleans International)), Jetstream 32s, and a variety of smaller fixed-wing turboprop and jet aircraft.
