ABOUT HYE
BUILT ON EXPERIENCE. DRIVEN BY PURPOSE
HYE Aero is intentionally boutique. We represent fewer clients so we can serve them the right way.
Every aircraft, mission profile, and risk factor is evaluated with the same care and rigor we would apply to our own operation.We are not simply brokers — we are experienced aircraft owners with over 20 years of hands-on operational experience.
That owner’s mindset shapes how we provide transactional representation, strategic guidance, and flight-department coaching, helping our clients make better decisions with greater confidence and clarity.

Matt Stringfellow
Founder of HYE Aero
A boutique aircraft brokerage created for clients who value precision, discretion, and long-term thinking. With 20+ years in business aviation and deep experience in international transactions, Matt brings a hands-on approach to acquisitions, sales, and advisory—balancing market strategy with disciplined diligence so clients can move confidently.
Built on the belief that aviation should be both elevated and intentional, HYE Aero donates a portion of every transaction’s profit to the HYE Aero Foundation, extending each closing beyond the aircraft and into measurable impact.
Matt grew up in Boulder, Colorado, earned Eagle Scout, and started flying at 16—early markers of the discipline and leadership that still define how he operates today.

PURPOSE
ELEVATE WITH PURPOSE
At HYE Aero, every transaction contributes to something larger. 10% of all profits are donated to the HYE Aero Foundation—supporting organizations focused on mental health and cancer research, treatment, and family support. We believe the future depends on more than the next deal. That's why our clients choose the nonprofit beneficiary for their transaction. Your aircraft decision creates meaningful change for causes that matter.
This isn't marketing. It's our operating principle.
Because elevation should be measured in more than altitude.

OUR SERVICES
WHAT SETS US APART?
Resourcefulness is Non-Negotiable
We find a way — always. Whether it's for a teammate or a client, we exhaust every option before we say we can't. We research, we call, we dig. The easy path is never our first assumption. Our clients trust us with significant decisions, and that trust is earned by showing up prepared, proactive, and relentless.
We Serve with Excellence and Generosity
Our success exists to fuel something bigger. We bend over backwards for our clients, and we have each other's backs unconditionally. Acts of kindness — within our team and beyond — are not just encouraged, they are part of who we are. The more we grow, the more we give. Our foundation and the charities we support depend on our excellence, and that is a privilege we take seriously.
We Take Risks. We Own Outcomes. We Grow.
Failure is not the opposite of success — it's part of it. We are bold enough to try, and professional enough to learn from every outcome. We take any risk once, and we never let fear of imperfection hold us back from setting a new standard in our industry. We are not just aircraft brokers — we are raising the bar for what this business looks like.
