Every FLYTE aircraft combines the Cirrus Vision Jet’s CAPS whole-aircraft parachute and Safe Return Emergency Autoland with onboard LifeVac life-saving equipment.
Partnership reflects FLYTE’s safety-first philosophy, integrating advanced aviation technology with onboard medical emergency preparedness.
“Safety isn’t one feature. It’s a system.” From aircraft selection and pilot training to emergency automation and onboard medical equipment, safety is built into every layer of the FLYTE experience.
FORT MILL, S.C., July 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fly Flyte, Inc. ("Flyte"), the rapidly growing Regional Air Mobility subsidiary of Catheter Precision, Inc. (NYSE American: VTAK), today announced a strategic partnership with LifeVac to equip its fleet of Cirrus Vision Jets with LifeVac’s airway clearance device designed for choking emergencies. The addition extends Flyte’s safety program from the flight deck into the cabin, preparing each aircraft for a medical emergency as well as an aviation one.
LifeVac is the first and only suction anti-choking device to receive FDA De Novo authorization, cleared as a second-line treatment for use after standard choking-rescue protocols. It is non-powered, non-invasive and single-use, and has been credited in more than 6,200 reported choking rescues worldwide. Placing one on every aircraft gives Flyte crews an additional, purpose-built tool if a passenger chokes in flight, where outside help is not an option.
That addition reflects how Flyte approaches safety more broadly. Most private-aviation operators fly a mix of aircraft types, yet Flyte made a deliberate choice to build its entire fleet around a single airplane, the Cirrus Vision Jet, so that every aircraft, every maintenance procedure and every pilot-training program is identical. Standardization removes variables, and in aviation, fewer variables mean fewer points of failure.
The deployment brings together what Flyte believes is one of the most comprehensive safety ecosystems in regional private aviation, combining:
- Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS) - whole-airframe parachute that can lower the entire aircraft with everyone aboard safely to the ground and Vision Jet is the only civilian jet that offers it.
- Safe Return Emergency Autoland Technology - at the press of a single button, the aircraft can navigate, communicate with air traffic control, land and stop on its own if the pilot becomes incapacitated.
- Advanced Garmin flight deck safety systems - avionics with Synthetic Vision and real-time terrain, traffic and weather awareness, plus Electronic Stability Protection, Envelope Protection and Emergency Descent Mode to help keep the aircraft within safe limits.
- Carbon-fiber airframe and FADEC engine management - a lightweight composite airframe and digital engine control for precise, reliable performance.
- LifeVac airway clearance devices - a non-powered device carried on every aircraft for choking emergencies, used as a second-line treatment after standard choking-rescue protocols.
- The Cirrus Vision Jet is widely recognized as one of the most technologically advanced and safety-oriented aircraft in private aviation. With the addition of LifeVac devices onboard, Flyte continues to expand its commitment to protecting passengers through both aviation and medical emergency preparedness.
"Safety isn’t one feature. It’s a system, and it’s our foundation," said Marc Sellouk, Founder of Flyte. "We chose the Vision Jet, standardized our fleet, and built our training, maintenance and procedures around it for one reason: to protect the people onboard. Adding LifeVac devices across our fleet is another meaningful step forward in our commitment to providing passengers with an exceptional travel experience built around innovation, preparedness, and safety."
"Choking emergencies happen fast and when you are in the air, there is no one to call,” said Arthur Lih, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of LifeVac. “By pairing LifeVac's life-saving airway clearance technology with the Vision Jet's industry-leading safety systems, we're helping create one of the most comprehensive safety platforms in the skies."
As Flyte expands its network, fleet, and strategic partnerships, the company remains focused on delivering a differentiated private aviation experience built around convenience, accessibility, innovation, and safety.
