Fly Louie is an early stage, tech-enabled start-up based in New York City with rapid market adoption. The company is making waves in private aviation by helping charter operators - 90% of whom are small to mid-sized businesses - compete at scale. We represent more than 20% of the industry, and we’re growing fast. Fly Louie was started in 2017 with the goal of matching under-utilized private aircraft with destinations and travelers in need of more air service. For 18 months, the team worked closely with independent operators and FBO partners to test private air shuttle routes. It was apparent from that experience that a bigger opportunity existed. Fly Louie decided to convert their valuable expertise and relationships into a product that could benefit the independent private aviation industry at scale. In September 2019, Fly Louie established the Fly Louie Alliance, a network of independent charter operators and Preferred FBO partners. In less than a year, the Fly Louie Alliance has built a robust membership of 250+ operators who own or operate 2,500+ aircraft. With the agility of a start-up and the strength of scale, Fly Louie works with leading private aviation businesses to deliver massive cost savings, tool enhancements, and network-wide cooperation to better compete against the larger players in aviation.
