About Stratus Financial:

Stratus Financial was founded in 2020 by a group of FAA Certificated Flight and Ground Instructors with decades of experience in the aviation industry. As aviators ourselves, we truly understood what it’s like to dream.

At Stratus Financial, we believe in developing lending products that make sense for pilots at all stages of their careers. Our mission is simple: to help you get your wings as swiftly as possible. Stratus started in the middle of a COVID pandemic despite aviation coming to a halt with retiring planes at unprecedented numbers. As a result, thousands of pilots were furloughed, retired, or fired in droves. Nevertheless, Stratus was able to fill in the demand through student pilots’ access to instructional funding and fast traction built by flight schools.

And while providing financing and simplifying the process are vital parts of what we do at Stratus Financial, we don’t see them as ends unto themselves. What drives Stratus isn’t just funding education—it’s financing your future. A future where more people can do what they love and make a difference. A lot where more people can take flight—and thrive!
