Hops Scalable Vision Jet Fleet Expansion Unlocking High-Frequency Short-Haul Regional Travel

Flyte's Vision Jet-Powered Hops Platform Aims to Establish a New Standard in Regional Travel with Industry-Leading Safety, Speed, Efficiency and Affordability

FORT MILL, S.C., March 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Catheter Precision, Inc. (NYSE:VTAK) and its wholly-owned subsidiary Fly Flyte, Inc. ("Flyte"), today announced the expansion of its Vision Jet-powered Hops platform, a scalable short-haul regional travel solution designed to deliver faster, safer, and more affordable private aviation than competitors. Flyte currently operates three aircraft, with two additional Vision Jets under accepted bids and expected to be fully operational by Memorial Day 2026 to meet accelerating inbound demand.

Flyte's Hops platform is built around the Cirrus Vision Jet, single-engine private jet purpose-built for luxurious high-frequency regional travel. By aligning aircraft capability with actual mission demand, Flyte believes it is establishing a new category within private aviation focused on efficiency, accessibility, and safety without compromising the premium travel experience.

Flyte Hops - A Structural Shift in Private Aviation

Flyte Hops is purpose-built for flights under approximately 500 miles, a segment where traditional private aviation is often inefficient and cost-prohibitive to operate.

The Hops platform delivers:

Private terminal access (FBOs), eliminating TSA delays and significantly reducing total travel time
Rapid booking-to-boarding timelines, enabling near on-demand regional travel
Right-sized aircraft economics, driving materially lower operating costs versus larger jets
High-frequency route capability, supporting repeatable and scalable short-haul travel
AI-driven scheduling and pricing optimization, improving fleet utilization and customer experience

This model seeks to transform private aviation from a discretionary luxury into a practical, time-efficient regional transportation solution.

Flyte Hops - Competitive Positioning

Unlike legacy charter operators built around larger aircraft and longer-haul missions, Flyte's Hops platform is optimized for:

Short-haul, high-frequency travel
Lower cost per flight hour
Faster turnaround and higher asset utilization
Scalable regional network expansion
This structural advantage should enable Flyte to deliver superior customer experience while maintaining strong unit economics.

Flyte Hops - Growth Strategy

Flyte is actively expanding its Vision Jet fleet and geographic footprint, targeting high-density regional travel corridors across the United States.

Flyte's strategy includes:

Fleet expansion aligned with demand growth
Development of high-frequency regional routes
Continued investment in AI-driven operations and pricing
Strategic partnerships to accelerate customer acquisition

Vision Jet - Safety as a Core Differentiator

Vision Jet introduces advanced safety technologies that meaningfully differentiate Flyte from traditional charter operators.

Key features include:

Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS), the only full-aircraft parachute system in private jet aviation, capable of safely lowering the entire aircraft in an emergency
Safe Return™ Emergency Auto-land, enabling fully autonomous navigation and landing at the push of a button
Advanced Garmin avionics and integrated auto throttle systems, reducing pilot workload and enhancing operational precision
Enhanced vision and flight envelope protection systems, improving situational awareness and reducing risk
