About CTP Aviation

CTP Aviation is managed and staffed by a world-class team of aviation experts:

Reid Dennis, Mr. Dennis is Chairman of CTP Aviation, a company he founded in 2000. The advent of CTP stemmed from his avid interest in aviation and over 9000 hours in a series of aircraft, from single engine piston to twin-engine jets. He is responsible for the level of safety and service excellence fostered by the company, as well as the exacting execution of detail.

Mr. Dennis also founded Institutional Venture Partners (“IVP”), and has been an active individual and corporate venture capital investor for over five decades.
