Fort Mill - Catheter Precision, Inc. (NYSE American: VTAK) announced a strategic minority investment in Fly Flyte, Inc. ('Flyte'), an FAA-certified regional aviation operator utilizing AI-enabled operations and a growing fleet of Cirrus Vision Jets.
Flyte conducts its flight operations through its wholly owned subsidiary, Ponderosa Air, LLC (FAA Air Carrier Certificate No. 1POA402M), operating under FAA 14 CFR Part 135, deploying Vision Jets across high-frequency short-haul regional routes where commercial airline capacity remains constrained. The company is generating revenue today with its fleet of Vision Jets, equipped with a proprietary whole-aircraft parachute system and Safe Return autonomous landing technology - advanced safety features that position the aircraft among the safest in the world.
The transaction provides VTAK immediate exposure to an operating aviation business supported by tangible assets, scalable fleet expansion capability and technology-driven operating optimization.
Transaction Overview
VTAK acquires 19.98% equity ownership in Flyte, aligning long-term strategic upside
Immediate exposure to one of the fastest-growing segments of private aviation
Asset-backed, scalable fleet expansion model
Preserves Flyte's operating continuity and strategic control
Creates optionality for increased ownership or future monetization
'The aviation sector is seeing accelerating investment in AI-enabled technologies designed to enhance mobility and drive operating efficiencies,' said David Jenkins, CEO and Chairman of VTAK. 'Flyte combines certified operations, scalable fleet economics and technology-enabled optimization in a model built for disciplined growth and long-term value creation.'
Why Flyte
Revenue-generating business operating today - not pre-revenue
FAA Part 135 certified operator currently servicing multiple regions
AI-enabled optimization across routing, pricing, dispatch and utilization
Capital-efficient, asset-backed growth model
Fleet of Vision Jets recognized for advanced integrated safety systems
Flyte expects disciplined expansion across select regional markets, targeting scalable revenue growth while maintaining capital efficiency.
Strategic Positioning Ahead of Future eVTOL Deployment
Operates in the same short-haul regional markets targeted by eVTOL developers
Generates operating data, route density and customer insights today
Utilizes certified aircraft, trained crews and established regulatory infrastructure
Provides current revenue exposure while preserving long-term strategic optionality
Significant capital has flowed into advanced air mobility and electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) companies, several of which trade at multi-billion-dollar public market valuations. While these companies represent long-term aviation innovation, certification and commercial deployment timelines could take years before commercially available.
Flyte operates today in the same corridors targeted for future electric aircraft integration. By leveraging certified aircraft and established infrastructure, Flyte generates active revenue, customer engagement and route density in markets attracting substantial long-term capital investment.
This positioning enables participation in the evolution of regional air mobility without reliance on future certification milestones, pairing current revenue generation with long-term structural upside.
Strategic Impact for VTAK
Diversifies capital allocation into high-growth transportation infrastructure
Adds exposure to AI-enabled aviation operations supported by tangible assets
Creates potential embedded equity upside as Flyte scales
Maintains disciplined minority position with strategic flexibility to increase ownership
'This investment provides VTAK shareholders exposure to an infrastructure-backed, revenue-generating aviation business positioned within one of the fastest-evolving segments of mobility,' Jenkins added. 'Flyte's certified operations and scalable fleet model allow us to participate in structural industry evolution while maintaining disciplined capital allocation.'
The investment reflects VTAK's broader strategy of selectively deploying capital into operating businesses with scalable infrastructure, defensible technology and clear paths to long-term value creation.
Flyte Perspective
'Flyte is operating today with certified aircraft, established routes and scalable infrastructure,' said Marc Sellouk, CEO and Founder of Flyte.
