AeroVanti, based in Sarasota, Florida, was founded in May 2021 by medical services entrepreneur Patrick Britton-Harr. It is currently grounded and facing multiple lawsuits.
It previously had dual headquarters before closing its Annapolis, Maryland location.
It initially used an owned/leased fleet of Piaggio P.180 aircraft operated by Brazos Valley Air Charter. The partnership ended in September 2021.
The program targets flyers who want low rates and have the flexibility to fly on an as-available provider.
It started with five dedicated aircraft.
As of January 2023, it claimed to have a dozen aircraft.
It has signed sponsorships as the private aviation provider for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Chicago Cubs, and US Sailing.
AeroVanti has also claimed to have raised significant money, including a $100 million investment in 2022.
However, it has been plagued by member complaints, and in May and June 2023, it was served with five different lawsuits, including allegations of fraud.
Britton-Harr was removed as CEO and is under indictment by the Justice Department for fraud.
However, he returned at the end of 2023.
Its website is offline.
2021
Patrick Britton-Harr and investors
AeroVanti had around 400 Top Gun and Pay-as-you-go members as of January 2023.
The company claimed over $20 million in revenues in 2022.
Todd Britton-Harr replaced Scott Hopes as CEO in October 2023; Brother and original CEO Patrick Britton-Harr became Chairman and Founder as of June 2023 and then was removed, according to Hopes. Todd has since resigned with Patrick taking his place.
AeroVanti uses mainly leased and owned aircraft, although several have been repossessed.
AeroVanti claims to have around 12 aircraft. However, lawsuits and officials acknowledge only a couple were flying at any given time in 2023.
Its pay-as-you-go program is $1,000 per month. Top Gun memberships sell for between $75,000 and $150,000.
Flights are priced based on Part 91F expense sharing and are marketed as costing under $2,000 per hour on P.180 turboprops.
