Flyte Brand to be Prominent Throughout this Prestigious Eleven-Day Festival Bringing Together Leading Actors, Filmmakers, Executives and Audiences from Around the World
FORT MILL, S.C., Sept. 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Flyte, a subsidiary of Catheter Precision, Inc. (NYSE American: VTAK) (“VTAK” or the “Company”), today announced it has established a partnership with the Hamptons International Film Festival (“HIFF”), in which Flyte has been named the ‘Official Air Travel Partner’ of the 34th annual HIFF taking place October 2 through October 12, 2026.
As Official Air Travel Partner, Flyte will have a prominent presence throughout the eleven-day festival, which brings together leading filmmakers, actors, artists, executives, and audiences from around the world for screenings, conversations, and events across the East End.
As a Lead Sponsor of the festival, Flyte’s presence extends across several of HIFF’s marquee programs. Flyte is also a sponsor of World Cinema Narrative, the Festival’s largest narrative section, featuring a wide-ranging slate of international films including Coward, Minotaur, Tender Loving Care and many more.
Additionally, Flyte will sponsor the Festival’s 2026 Breakthrough Honors, continuing a longstanding program with a history of recognizing emerging talent that has gone on to become some of the most prominent names in film and entertainment. The 2026 Flyte Breakthrough Award recipients include:
The Festival’s Breakthrough program has previously recognized talent including Emma Stone, Mahershala Ali, Jessica Chastain, Lupita Nyong’o, Adam Driver, Brie Larson, Timothée Chalamet, Michael B. Jordan, Oscar Isaac and Emily Blunt.
“The Hamptons International Film Festival has become an important part of the cultural fabric of the East End, and we are proud to participate as its Official Air Travel Partner,” said Marc Sellouk, Founder of Flyte. “Flyte has developed a meaningful presence in the Hamptons, and this partnership feels like a natural extension of that. We are especially proud to lend the Flyte name to the Breakthrough Awards and recognize Anthony, Rosalind and Jordan alongside a program with an extraordinary history of talent.”
A Natural Connection to the Hamptons
As a natural showcase for the advantages of regional private aviation, the Hamptons have become an important market for Flyte.
Flyte operates a standardized fleet of Cirrus Vision Jets designed for short-haul private travel. Through its technology-enabled platform, customers can access private aviation through a streamlined digital experience, bringing greater simplicity and transparency to a travel category that historically had been complex to navigate.
For travel between the New York metro area and the East End, that combination is particularly relevant. What can otherwise require hours by car becomes a far more efficient journey by air, enabling travelers to spend more time at their destination and less time getting there. Furthermore, many of the smaller airports serviced by Flyte, which lack scheduled commercial air service, have far less surrounding traffic, easy ride-share access and more convenient parking than larger airports. The result is a unique expression of private aviation: not simply a solution for long-distance travel, but an increasingly seamless way to move between the places that matter.
“The most interesting part of regional private aviation is how naturally it can fit into someone's life when the experience is simple,” Mr. Sellouk continued. “The aircraft, technology, booking platform and the customer-facing experience all must work together seamlessly. That is what we have built at Flyte, and the Hamptons exemplify this newly available and surprisingly affordable premium experience.”
A Growing Presence Across Culture and Travel
Whether traveling to the Hamptons for the film festival, New York for fashion week, a golf destination for the weekend, or The Bahamas for a resort stay, Flyte has built a private aviation platform designed around the way its customers actually travel.
The Company’s combination of a standardized aircraft fleet, technology-enabled booking experience and expanding network makes regional private aviation considerably more seamless while preserving the service, privacy and luxury experience expected from private travel.
