Celebrating Big Wins with Mayor Andrew Ginther

This morning, Mayor Andrew Ginther visited the Goodwin Hangar for a ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate our big wins and honestly, it was a pretty surreal moment for our team to reflect on how far we've come.

A year ago, we were heads-down building in a much smaller office tucked away in the FBO. Today, we're cutting ribbons with the Mayor of Columbus in our new HQ hangar. A lot has changed (Tolga even grew a mustache).

The Growth Has Been Wild

We'll be the first to admit, the past year exceeded just about every expectation we had. The numbers are hard to say with a straight face:

• 555% year-over-year revenue growth
• 705% growth in active broker customers
• 600% growth in Goodwin-generated flight legs

That kind of growth doesn't happen by accident. It happens because the brokers we work with are seeing real value, and they're telling other brokers. It's been a compounding effect that's been incredible to watch in real time. Not only our customers, our team. We have an incredibley talented team, hire the best of the best across every department.

What Today Actually Meant

Having Mayor Ginther here wasn't just a photo op. It was a reminder that what we're building matters beyond our own walls for Columbus, for the charter industry, and for the brokers who rely on us every day to ensure their client's are taken care of.

In a Co-Founders Words

"This journey has been anything but linear. There were moments early on where we were figuring it out day by day and honestly, some of those days were humbling. But the vision was always clear: bet on the brokers and give them a system to win. Watching that vision turn into the growth we're seeing now, and getting to celebrate it right here in Columbus with the people who built it — that's everything" Tolga Demirel, Co-Founder of Goodwin.

Onward

Today was worth celebrating. Tomorrow, we're back to building. There are more brokers to serve, more flight legs to generate, and a lot more runway ahead.

Thanks to Mayor Ginther, the Columbus community, and every broker who took a chance on us. You're the reason we're here and able to grow our team, our platform, and keep winning — and if you want to be part of what comes next, we're hiring.
