FlyUSA Expands Aviation Footprint with Acquisition of TRYP Air and MySky

FlyUSA Strengthens Position in Private Aviation Market

In a monumental move that marks a significant expansion in the private aviation sector, FlyUSA, one of the leading providers of private aviation solutions in the United States, announced the acquisition of two major players in the industry: TRYP Air Charter and its affiliate, MySky Aviation Solutions. This strategic partnership is set to enhance FlyUSA's aircraft fleet and operational capabilities, solidifying its position as a leading aviation service provider in the Southeast U.S.

Expanding the Fleet

The acquisition escalates FlyUSA's total aircraft under management from 24 to an impressive 28. Additionally, the charter fleet will increase from eight to twelve aircraft, marking a 50% growth. This expansion is not merely about numbers—it represents FlyUSA’s commitment to offering superior service and increased availability for its clients. This robust growth is part of FlyUSA's ongoing strategy to expand its market presence and service capacity, providing an elevated experience for its clients.

Leadership Transition

The transition brings seasoned professionals to the FlyUSA team. Elliot Mintzer, the founder and CEO of both MySky and TRYP, will integrate into the FlyUSA family to oversee the management of the newly acquired turboprop and PC-12 fleet. With over a decade of expertise in handling PC-12 aircraft, Mintzer’s knowledge will be instrumental in fostering the growth of this newly expanded fleet. Furthermore, Kyle Garren, TRYP's former VP of Charter and Logistics, will join FlyUSA, contributing his skills to bolster the company's sales and logistics operations.

Industry Impact

Barry Shevlin, Co-Founder and CEO of FlyUSA, expressed excitement over the merger, stating, "We've known the TRYP team since we first started FlyUSA and they've been a great partner to work with. This collaboration signifies FlyUSA becoming the largest and most active combined turboprop and light jet fleet in Florida—and potentially across the broader Southeast region. The integration will unlock new opportunities for growth and, most importantly, will enhance the value we deliver to our clients."

This acquisition follows a record-breaking first quarter for FlyUSA in 2025, where it reported revenues of $15 million, powered by ongoing developments in its on-demand charter department. With a revenue target of $70 million for the year, FlyUSA is demonstrating an impressive growth trajectory in the aviation sector.
