About Us

Based in Buffalo, New York, Thunderun Aviation has been providing on-demand service since 2009. We can reach the entire country within hours flying our five Lear 31 jet aircraft.

We have highly trained and experienced pilots as well as an exceptional maintenance team to make sure our jets are running top notch for the best service we can strive for!

Our flight coordinators are available 24/7 with full support. For air ambulance, we handle all necessary arrangements for "bedside-to-bedside" transport. We attend to every detail, including ground ambulances to/from facilities, medical air crew, and providing necessary equipment.

Owner Operated and Veteran Owned.
