Thrive Aviation Ranks No. 3043 on the 2025 Inc. 5000 List of America's Fastest-Growing Private Companies

With Three-Year Revenue Growth of 133% Percent, This Marks Thrive Aviation's 4^th Time on the List

LAS VEGAS, Aug. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Inc., the leading media brand and playbook for the entrepreneurs and business leaders shaping our future, today announced that Thrive Aviation is No. 3043 on the annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The list provides a data-driven snapshot of the most successful companies within the economy's most dynamic segment—its independent, entrepreneurial businesses. Past honorees include companies such as Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Under Armour, Timberland, Oracle, and Patagonia.

"Achieving this recognition for the fourth consecutive year is a testament to our team's dedication and relentless pursuit of excellence," said Curtis Edenfield, Co-Founder and CEO.  "Over the past 18 months, we've nearly doubled our fleet, reflecting our strong growth and increasing demand for our services. Being named to the Inc. 5000 once again underscores our position as a top player in the private aviation industry. We're excited about the future as we continue to innovate and expand."

This year's Inc. 5000 honorees have demonstrated exceptional growth while navigating economic uncertainty, inflationary pressure, and a fluctuating labor market. Among the top 500 companies on the list, the median three-year revenue growth rate reached 1,552 percent, and those companies have collectively added more than 48,678 jobs to the U.S. economy over the past three years.

"Making the Inc. 5000 is always a remarkable achievement, but earning a spot this year speaks volumes about a company's tenacity and clarity of vision," says Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief of Inc. "These businesses have thrived amid rising costs, shifting global dynamics, and constant change. They didn't just weather the storm—they grew through it, and their stories are a powerful reminder that the entrepreneurial spirit is the engine of the U.S. economy."

Inc. will celebrate the honorees at the 2025 Inc. 5000 Conference & Gala, taking place October 22–24 in Phoenix, and the top 500 will be listed in the Fall issue of Inc. magazine.

Rickey Oswald, COO and Partner states, "We're incredibly proud of what we've accomplished at Thrive Aviation. Doubling our fleet is a major milestone that demonstrates our brand power and the trust our clients place in us. Our commitment to safety, superior service, and operational excellence has positioned us well—reflected in our continued Inc. 5000 recognition, our ranking as a top 10 operator nationwide, and being the largest operator in Nevada.
