Fly Alliance

Big-picture snapshot

Fly Alliance is a Part 135 on-demand charter and Part 145 maintenance organization headquartered in Ocoee, Florida (637 Palm Drive, Suite 101, Ocoee, FL 34761), in the Orlando metro area. The company operates a fleet of approximately 33 aircraft spanning midsize through ultra-long-range types — including Bombardier Global Express, Gulfstream G-IVSP, Cessna Citation Latitude and XLS, and Hawker 800XP — from bases at KMCO (Orlando), KMDW (Chicago Midway), KHOU (Houston Hobby), and KBKL (Cleveland Burke Lakefront). Fly Alliance is non-union. Kevin Wargo serves as CEO and Co-Founder, Christopher Tasca is President and Co-Founder, Eddie Silva is COO, and Corey Mazner is Chief Pilot. The company's ATC callsign is "Krypto."

For interview purposes, the simplest way to frame Fly Alliance is this: it is one of the fastest-growing charter operators in the United States, founded in 2019 by two former Dumont Group/Magellan Jets executives who built the company from zero to 33+ aircraft in under six years. Fly Alliance holds both Part 135 and Part 145 certificates — an unusual combination that gives it in-house maintenance capability. The company is aggressively expanding internationally with offices in Dubai, New Delhi, and San Marino, and is pursuing a San Marino AOC targeted for Q2 2026. Fly Alliance operates through a brand alliance called NXT Jet and offers a diversified business model including charter, jet cards, aircraft management, aircraft sales, fleet share programs, and parts sales.

Business model

Fly Alliance operates across multiple revenue streams:

• On-demand charter: Core business. Part 135 on-demand charter flights using the company's owned fleet of 33+ aircraft across domestic and international routes.
• Jet card ("The Reserve"): Membership-based jet card program offering guaranteed access and fixed pricing on Fly Alliance's fleet. The Starlink Jet Card (launched December 2025) bundles Starlink-equipped aircraft with the jet card product.
• Aircraft management: Fly Alliance manages privately owned aircraft, handling operations, crew, maintenance, and regulatory compliance on behalf of owners.
• Aircraft sales: Brokerage and sales of business aircraft, leveraging the company's fleet expertise and market relationships.
• Fleet share programs: Shared ownership or access programs that allow customers to participate in aircraft economics without full ownership.
• Parts sales: Aftermarket parts sourced through Fly Alliance's Part 145 maintenance operation.
• Starlink installation: Fly Alliance installs Starlink satellite internet connectivity on business aircraft, both for its own fleet and for third-party operators.
• Part 145 maintenance: FAA-certified repair station providing in-house maintenance capability — a significant competitive advantage that reduces downtime and controls costs.
• NXT Jet alliance: Fly Alliance operates under the NXT Jet brand alliance for marketing and customer acquisition.
• Global expansion: Eight offices worldwide (Orlando, Providence RI, Dubai, New Delhi, San Marino, and others), with FAMO approval from India's DGCA and San Marino AOC targeted for Q2 2026.
