Florida-based private aviation provider FlyUSA has acquired TRYP Air Charter and its affiliated company MySky Aviation Solutions.
The transaction increases FlyUSA’s aircraft under management from 24 to 28 and boosts its on-fleet aircraft available for charter from eight to 12. This represents a 50% increase in charter fleet capacity for the company.
FlyUSA said that it is committed to ensuring a seamless transition for all clients, partners and staff affected by the acquisition.
“We’ve known the TRYP team since we first started FlyUSA and they’ve been a great partner to work with,” said Barry Shevlin, co-founder and chief executive officer of FlyUSA.
Shevlin said the deal makes FlyUSA “the largest and most active combined turboprop and light jet fleet in the state of Florida, if not the broader Southeast US”.
Elliot Mintzer, founder and CEO of MySky and TRYP, will join FlyUSA to manage its turboprop and Pilatus PC-12 fleet operations. Mintzer brings over 10 years of specialized PC-12 experience to the role.
“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 being a part of.”
Kyle Garren, TRYP’s vice president of charter and logistics, will also join FlyUSA to support the sales team.
The acquisition follows what FlyUSA described as a record-breaking first quarter in 2025, with the company reporting US$15 million in revenue. The company has a 2025 revenue target of US$70 million.
FlyUSA provides private aviation services including on-demand charter flights, membership programs, jet card options, and aircraft management. The company operates across the USA with a client base now exceeding 1,500 customers.
The growth of FlyUSA earned it the number 45 position on the 2024 Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies in the ISA.
