Detroit has a new way to experience the city...from the sky.

MyFlight Tours has officially opened its new 12,000-square-foot headquarters at Coleman A. Young International Airport, creating a destination that goes beyond helicopter tours. The new space features a full-service bar, small-plates menu, outdoor patio overlooking the airfield, private event spaces, and immersive aviation experiences for both flyers and visitors.

Founded in Detroit by husband-and-wife team Sergio and Cassandra Troiani, MyFlight has grown from a single helicopter into a multistate aviation company. Its new headquarters will serve as the center of national operations while giving Detroit residents and visitors a unique place to dine, celebrate, and experience aviation in a whole new way.
