PRIVATE AVIATION. WITHOUT COMPROMISE.

Gentry Aviation, LLC is a Las Vegas based private aviation brokerage and advisory firm providing discreet, compliant access to private aircraft worldwide. We work with individuals, corporations, and flight departments that require precision, privacy, and consistency in execution.

Independent by design, we do not own or operate aircraft. This structure allows us to remain fully aircraft agnostic and act solely in the client’s interest. Each mission is sourced through a global network of FAA certified operators and evaluated for aircraft suitability, operator standards, crew qualifications, and regulatory compliance.

From initial planning through wheels up, we manage the complexity behind private aviation so our clients experience efficiency, reliability, and control without friction.
