ConocoPhillips flies from Midland to Houston the week of its new E145 shuttle launch

ConocoPhillips flew from Midland International Air and Space Port to Houston Bush Intercontinental on May 26, 2026, a 1-hour-21-minute hop aboard its Embraer ERJ-145XR, N284CP. The flight is one of many recent shuttles between the Permian Basin and the company's Houston headquarters.

The same week, ConocoPhillips announced it had begun offering an air shuttle service to employees in the lower 48 states using the E145, per ch-aviation. The aircraft is based at the ConocoPhillips Global Aviation hangar at Houston Intercontinental and serves Midland, Carlsbad, Bartlesville, and Williston Basin — a network that explains the steady back-and-forth pattern seen in recent flight logs.

The May 26 trip fits a broader rhythm: ConocoPhillips operates nearly 700 North/South and 5,000 East/West passenger flights annually, according to the company's Alaska operations page. While much of that fleet serves the North Slope, the new E145 shuttle adds a lower-48 link for the Houston-based independent E&P.
