A Strategic Move That Elevates Private Aviation Across Florida and the Southeast
FlyUSA is proud to announce a major milestone in our continued journey of growth and innovation. With the acquisition of TRYP Air Charter and its affiliated company, MySky Aviation Solutions, we’re not just expanding our fleet, we’re expanding possibilities for our clients, our pilots, and the future of private aviation.
This strategic move grows our total aircraft under management from 24 to 28 aircraft, while increasing our on-fleet aircraft available for charter by 50%, from eight to twelve. With this move, FlyUSA now operates one of the most active combined turboprop and light jet fleets in Florida, positioning us for even greater service coverage across the Southeast.
“This partnership unlocks new opportunities for growth, but most importantly, delivers even greater value to those we serve.”
— Barry Shevlin, Co-Founder and CEO of FlyUSA
Why This Matters
At FlyUSA, we’re not just acquiring aircraft, we’re integrating experienced teams, powerful capabilities, and deep regional knowledge that directly benefit our clients.
Elliot Mintzer, Founder and CEO of MySky and TRYP, brings over a decade of Pilatus PC-12 experience to FlyUSA. He’ll oversee our growing turboprop fleet and continue developing new talent, training pilots, and strengthening operational excellence. Joining him is Kyle Garren, former VP of Charter/Logistics at TRYP, who will further boost our charter sales and support operations.
This isn’t just a merger, it’s a shared vision. One where more travelers can experience flexible, on-demand private flight options from Florida to the Bahamas and beyond. One where aircraft owners receive even more value and support. And one where our team continues building the most responsive, customer-focused aviation company in the industry.
A Record-Breaking Year – and It’s Only the Beginning
This acquisition follows a record-breaking Q1 for FlyUSA, with $15 million in revenue generated by surging charter demand. We remain on track to hit our $70 million revenue goal for 2025, all while growing responsibly and maintaining the personalized, high-touch service FlyUSA is known for.
What’s Next?
With 28 aircraft and over 1,500 clients and members nationwide, our path forward is clear: more aircraft, more destinations, and more reasons to choose FlyUSA.
Whether you’re flying for business, leisure, or adventure, we’re committed to making your experience elevated, effortless, and unmatched.
