On July 31st, right on time at 6:10pm local time, Albuquerque (0000Z), Era America Airlines was off the ground. The first flight was flown from Albuquerque International Sunport to Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport in a Boeing 737-900, fully loaded with 172 passengers. The flight took 3 hours and 25 minutes, flown at a speed of mach 0.75 (510 ground speed), and a cruising altitude of 35,000 feet (FL350). With this flight completed it is fair to say that Era America Airlines is a new airline company in the sky, providing the best customer service, and making flying the way it was meant to be.
