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’ll occupy a 24,000-sq-ft hangar and repair facility on the airport
“We’re proud to proceed our story with planting roots in one other operational base, in the attractive Miami metro area,” said company co-founder Vitali Lapko. “Florida is an increasingly popular marketplace for our clients and partners, and this latest base will allow us to drastically increase our availability to deliver that elevated service Thrive is understood for.”
The corporate, which operates a fleet of 16 aircraft starting from the Gulfstream G600 to the Cessna Citation M2, has just acquired one other 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’re in a position to offer our clients much more flexibility and convenience in the case of their travel needs,” explained co-founder and CEO Curtis Edenfield. “We’re committed to providing the best level of quality, service, and safety to our clients, and our continued growth is a testament to our success in that mission.”
