Thrust Flight (“Thrust” or the “Company”), a provider of professional flight training services, has been recapitalized by Summit Park and AltitudeX Aviation (“AltitudeX”).
Headquartered in Addison, Texas, Thrust is a flight training school focused on serving those who aspire to be professional pilots through its Zero Time to Airline® program. The Company was founded in 2006 as an aircraft dealer by aviators and entrepreneurs Patrick Arnzen and Stuart Stevenson. After identifying a clear need and opportunity, the Company shifted strategy to focus exclusively on serving the professional pilot training market. From its three strategic locations in Texas, including operations in Addison (Dallas), Denison (North Dallas), and Conroe (North Houston), Thrust provides a best-in-class student experience by offering access to a modern fleet of aircraft and simulator-based instruction. Students who graduate from Thrust’s program often go on to careers as airline pilots or pilots within other sub-sectors of the aviation industry.
