David Mejia
CEO & Founder
With over two decades in private aviation, David founded Thrust Aviation on a single principle: every flight should feel as effortless as it is exceptional. From his first charter as a 25-year-old broker to building one of North America's most trusted operators, his focus has never wavered — clients first, always.
Today, David leads a team of pilots, dispatchers, and concierge specialists who share that same philosophy. Whether you're flying a single leg or coordinating a complex global itinerary, his team treats every detail as if their reputation depends on it — because it does.
