Business aircraft charter management and brokerage firm FlyUSA acquired 3B Aviation this week, combining two Tampa Bay, Florida operators. The deal expands FlyUSA’s fleet to 15 privately managed aircraft. 

Prior to the acquisition, 3B Aviation employed 10 pilots and managed 13 aircraft on behalf of more than 25 private owners. 3B Aviation founder Nick Barrows is also moving to FlyUSA as president of acquisitions and management.
