Las Vegas-based aircraft charter and management provider Thrive Aviation has expanded to the East Coast with the opening of a facility at Florida’s Miami Opa-locka Executive Airport (KOPF). It will occupy a 24,000-sq-ft hangar and service facility at the airport
“We are proud to continue our story with planting roots in another operational base, in the beautiful Miami metro area,” said company co-founder Vitali Lapko. “Florida is an increasingly popular market for our clients and partners, and this new base will allow us to drastically increase our availability to deliver that elevated service Thrive is known for.”
The company, which operates a fleet of 16 aircraft ranging from the Gulfstream G600 to the Cessna Citation M2, has just acquired another Citation Longitude. The super-midsize twinjet has a nonstop range throughout North America and down through Central and most of South America.
“With the addition of our fourth Citation Longitude, we are able to offer our clients even more flexibility and convenience when it comes to their travel needs,” explained co-founder and CEO Curtis Edenfield. “We are committed to providing the highest level of quality, service, and safety to our clients, and our continued growth is a testament to our success in that mission.”
