Press Release:
In 2020, Founder Kyle McDaniel launched Commonwealth Aviation with one airplane and five customers. The flight school quickly grew its client list by leveraging business relationships and a large customer base at Virginia’s busiest regional airport right here in Manassas. After a recent merger with Aero Elite, the company has expanded to a beautiful 1,300+ square foot office space in APP Jet Center to accommodate 17 Manassas-based instructors, seven administrative staff, and maintenance operations for five to six local aircrafts. The merger — with 40 total instructors across five locations — makes Aero Elite one of the largest flight schools in the mid-Atlantic region.
On November 1, Kyle McDaniel and Aero Elite Founder, Tim Fisher, as well as staff, clients, and City leadership, celebrated the new location and expansion with a ribbon cutting. Nicole Boone, Business Operations Manager for the Manassas location, looks forward to settling in and welcoming pilots and students to the new space, which she describes as an ideal blend of “professional” and “enjoyable.” Boone is confident both Commonwealth Aviation and now Aero Elite have taken exceptional care to treat students like a priority. She feels the new space only adds to that level of service.
