Patriot Express Flights Are Available

The Patriot Express (formerly know as Cat B or “Freedom Bird”) is a contracted commercial charter mission that provides support for duty travelers and their family members. 618 TACC/XOG schedules these international charter flights on a regular basis to and from commercial airports (AMC commercial locations) and/or military terminals. These flights offer an array of in-flight amenities and operate the same as scheduled commercial airlines. The Patriot Express is also an excellent provider of troop morale by providing "Space A" Travel opportunities to and from the United States.
