Ethan Pruitt followed his father’s footsteps, not just into business aviation, but into QuikTrip Flight Operations, where he started cleaning aircraft at just 15 years old. He later got his A&P and joined a local charter operation, beginning as a technician and working up to director of maintenance. After his father passed away unexpectedly, Pruitt returned to QuikTrip, this time as their maintenance manager.

“I enjoy overcoming daily operational challenges and using critical thinking to diagnose various discrepancies and the exciting challenges that come with the growth of our department,” said Pruitt. “I also try to inspire youth to join the industry. My career has been extremely fun and rewarding, and it excites me to show children they can do the same.”
