ATI Jet inc. / Jetvia Acquired by Matthew O’Hayer
El Paso, Texas – June 9, 2025 – ATI Jet Inc. dba Jetvia, a leading operator of private jet
charter services for nearly four decades and parent company of Jetvia is excited to announce its
acquisition by Matthew O’Hayer, the founder of Vital Farms. Matt has been a lifelong aviator and
fell in love with Jetvia after flying with the team. He will step in as CEO.
Jetvia’s Founder and longtime CEO Lyle Byrum will step into the role of President, focusing on
engineering innovation and growth opportunities. Byrum was just awarded the Wright Brothers
Master Pilot Award by the FAA after 50 years of accomplishments in the aviation space.
“Jetvia has always been about more than aircraft—it’s about people and the culture of
excellence we’ve built together,” said Byrum. “Matt’s passion for aviation and proven track
record of scaling mission-driven businesses make him the ideal partner to take Jetvia to new
heights.”
This transition marks a new chapter for Jetvia, which has grown from a small operation to a 23-
aircraft fleet of Learjet 60s recognized for an impeccable safety record and exceptional service.
In addition, Nick Tyson has been promoted to Executive Vice President. Tyson, who joined
Jetvia in 2019, has been instrumental in streamlining operations and ensuring the company
remains a trusted partner to clients around the globe.
“We are entering a new era for Jetvia,” said Tyson. “Our goal is to strengthen our core values
and deliver even greater reliability and innovation to our clients. With Matt’s strategic insight,
Lyle’s engineering expertise, and the dedication of our entire team, now operating the world’s
largest Learjet 60 fleet, we will continue to set the benchmark for private aviation.”
Under Matt’s ownership, Jetvia is deepening its commitment to using private aviation as a force
for good—donating flights for individuals facing urgent medical needs, including the
immunocompromised, and supporting missions that serve the greater public. This initiative
reflects Jetvia’s belief that private aviation can be both exceptional in service and meaningful in
impact.
As the company transitions to this next phase, it remains dedicated to delivering exceptional
service and maintaining the culture of safety and excellence that has set Jetvia apart for nearly
40 years.
