What ExecuJet does

ExecuJet Charter Service, Inc. is a privately held, founder-owned private aviation company headquartered at the Sheltair TPA facility in Tampa, Florida, founded in 1994 by Peter R. Cunzolo. The firm provides an integrated portfolio of four core services: on-demand private jet charter under an FAA Part 135 air carrier certificate with worldwide operating authority, full-service aircraft management including revenue-generating charter programs, aircraft brokerage and acquisition consulting, and FAA Part 145 Repair Station aircraft maintenance, inspection, and repair services (the last added in December 2024). It serves high-net-worth individuals, corporate executives, and aircraft owners with a fleet spanning turboprop, light, midsize, super midsize, and heavy jet categories (Gulfstream, Global, Challenger, Citation, Lear, Hawker), supported by third-party safety approvals from ARG/US and WYVERN.

The business is operationally grounded in its regulatory and talent base. ExecuJet holds a dual Part 135 charter authority and Part 145 repair station certification, an uncommon combination in the southeastern United States, enabling in-house maintenance, an experienced leadership team with decades of tenure (Cunzolo at 40+ years/7,000+ flight hours; Director of Maintenance Robert M. Jones since 1998; Director of Operations Mike Marconi at 28 years/14,000+ hours; Charter Sales and Safety Manager Thomas May at 25 years), and a 31-year incident- and accident-free operating record. It sells exclusively through direct channels (toll-free phone and website), markets via client referrals, NBAA/TBAA memberships, and earned media, and lists Kforce, Masonite International, and First Choice Investigations as named long-term clients.

Commercially, ExecuJet generates revenue through transaction-based private charter quotes, recurring aircraft management contracts, transactional aircraft brokerage commissions, and hourly maintenance labor rates ranging from $140 (scheduled business hours) to $320 (federal holidays, 3-hour minimum). The company is bootstrapped since founding, with no external equity, debt, or institutional investors evidenced, and is currently classified as a small employer (11–50 employees) operating from a single physical site serving a global customer base under its worldwide operating authority.
