FlyUSA has acquired TRYP Air Charter and MySky Aviation Solutions, bringing its total aircraft under management from 24 to 28. “This transaction results in FlyUSA becoming the largest and most active combined turboprop and light jet fleet in the state of Florida, if not the broader Southeast U.S.,” said Barry Shevlin, co-founder and CEO of FlyUSA. “This partnership unlocks new opportunities for growth.”
The acquisition increases FlyUSA’s fleet available for charter by 50%, expanding from eight to 12 aircraft. The company expects a smooth transition for existing clients, partners, and employees of TRYP and MySky.
Elliot Mintzer, founder and CEO of both acquired companies, will join FlyUSA to oversee the turboprop fleet, which includes Pilatus PC-12s. Mintzer brings more than a decade of PC-12 experience, along with sales and pilot mentorship expertise. TRYP v-p of charter and logistics Kyle Garren will also transition to FlyUSA, supporting sales operations.
“TRYP and MySky have always been a leading source of Pilatus PC-12 lift throughout the Southeast and the Bahamas,” said Mintzer. “The innovative growth opportunities at FlyUSA for our owners and team is something we couldn’t pass up.”
This announcement follows a record first quarter for FlyUSA, which reported $15 million in revenue. The company remains on track to meet its 2025 goal of $70 million.
