Vaunt Doubles Aircraft Network With Expanded Operator Program, Advancing Toward Market Leadership

By: Volato Group, Inc. via Business Wire

March 20, 2025 at 08:30 AM EDT

Volato Group, Inc. (the “Company” or “Volato”) (NYSE American: SOAR) announced that Vaunt, its rapidly scaling private aviation platform, has more than doubled its available fleet through the strategic addition of two established operators, JetVia and Koury Aviation, alongside expanded participation from flyExclusive. These partnerships bring an additional 59 aircraft onto Vaunt’s platform, significantly enhancing coverage in key U.S. markets and providing a meaningful step toward the platform’s goal of nationwide reach.

Since integrating flyExclusive’s fleet in late 2024, Vaunt has sustained double-digit ARR growth, widened its user base, and driven increased platform engagement—clear indicators of its ability to scale efficiently and generate recurring revenue streams. The expansion to 111 total aircraft on platform positions Vaunt for continued acceleration in 2025 and cements its role within Volato’s broader strategy to redefine private aviation with tech-enabled solutions.

Investor Momentum Backed by Strong Fundamentals

"Vaunt is executing on a simple but powerful premise: there is untapped value in every empty leg," said Tim Graves, VP of Marketing at Vaunt. "By doubling our available aircraft, we’re not just growing capacity—we’re demonstrating to operators and investors that Vaunt is solving one of the industry's most persistent inefficiencies at scale."

Operators: Monetize What Others Leave Behind

Vaunt’s expanding network unlocks new revenue for operators by turning unsold flights into profit. Seamlessly integrating with existing schedules, Vaunt monetizes flights that would otherwise fly empty—without disrupting core operations. With no upfront costs and a fast onboarding process, operators gain immediate access to a highly engaged, growing member base.
