Anthony Banome appointed president of FlyHouse Solutions | Corporate Jet Investor | CJI news

FlyHouse has appointed Anthony Banome as president of FlyHouse Solutions, the company's infrastructure division designed to consolidate aviation services — fuel, maintenance, ground handling, safety, training, financing, and aircraft sales — under a single operational umbrella. Banome brings more than two decades of private aviation experience, most notably from leadership roles at Meridian Teterboro and Fontainebleau Aviation in Miami, two high-volume FBOs that serve some of the densest business aviation traffic corridors in the United States. He most recently served as chief revenue officer at Unique II Worldwide before joining FlyHouse. His mandate is to lead revenue strategy and deepen partner integration across the division, reporting directly into FlyHouse's executive leadership team.

The appointment reflects a broader strategic posture at FlyHouse toward vertical integration in private aviation infrastructure. In late March 2026, FlyHouse acquired JetsMRO, an FAA Part 145-certificated MRO facility based in Dallas, extending its maintenance footprint into Texas and reinforcing its existing presence in Florida — two of the most active business aviation markets by operations and based aircraft. The addition of a certified repair station is a meaningful capability step; Part 145 certification allows the organization to perform regulated maintenance and return aircraft to service, which is a fundamentally different business function than brokering those services. Banome's background in FBO operations, where the interface between fuel, handling, and maintenance is daily reality, positions him to operationalize the integration between these newly acquired and existing capabilities.

For operators and flight departments, FlyHouse Solutions represents an attempt to address a genuine friction point in business aviation: the fragmentation of essential services across multiple vendors, contracts, and points of contact. Part 91 and Part 135 operators routinely manage separate relationships for fuel programs, maintenance providers, ground handling, and crew training, each with its own pricing structures, availability windows, and quality variance. A fully integrated infrastructure provider — if executed with consistent service standards — could reduce administrative overhead for flight departments and offer more predictable cost structures for aircraft owners. The credibility of the model will ultimately depend on whether the partner network and acquired entities operate with uniform quality controls, particularly in the safety-critical maintenance segment.

Banome's recognition in NBAA's inaugural "Top 40 Under 40" class signals industry acknowledgment of his standing within the business aviation community, and the FlyHouse leadership is explicitly positioning him as a bridge between operational credibility and strategic execution. The broader trend his appointment reflects is accelerating consolidation in private aviation services, where well-capitalized platforms are moving to capture margin across the full service stack rather than competing within a single vertical. For pilots and operators evaluating service providers, this trend warrants attention: consolidated platforms can offer efficiency advantages, but they also concentrate dependency, making due diligence on financial stability, certification status, and service-level guarantees increasingly important when a single vendor touches fuel, maintenance, and dispatch simultaneously.
