Scott A. Meyer

Chief Executive Officer ALOFT AeroArchitects

Last Reviewed: September 29, 2026

Executive Summary

Scott A. Meyer is Chief Executive Officer of ALOFT AeroArchitects, the Georgetown, Delaware company that engineers, certifies and installs modifications and VVIP interiors for large business and government aircraft. He took over in January 2022 in a planned succession when long-serving CEO Robert Sundin retired, bringing an unusual combination to a completions house: an aerospace engineering background from Purdue and early work on solid rocket motors and launch-vehicle materials, followed by nearly two decades running business aviation maintenance and completion operations, including as CEO of Comlux America and COO of Flying Colours Corporation’s North American business. Under him the company has leaned into growth, building its own technician pipeline, opening an engineering office in Indianapolis and winning multiple BBJ MAX 8 VVIP completion programmes as it reached its 50th year.

Career Highlights

• Appointed Chief Executive Officer of ALOFT AeroArchitects effective January 20, 2022, succeeding retiring CEO Robert Sundin.
• Previously COO for the North American operations of Flying Colours Corporation.
• Earlier CEO of Comlux America LLC, a startup MRO and completion centre.
• Launched ALOFT Academy in 2025, a fully compensated in-house programme that trains local recruits with little or no aviation experience as aircraft technicians.
• Opened a satellite engineering office in Indianapolis in February 2026 to support program management, FAA certification and systems engineering for the company’s backlog.
• Studied aerospace engineering at Purdue University, including post-graduate work.

Professional Journey

Meyer trained as an aerospace engineer at Purdue University, where according to ALOFT he earned his degree and completed further post-graduate work. His early career was on the technology side of aerospace: solid rocket motor design, advanced material applications for launch vehicles, and aerospace technology-based operations.

In the mid-1990s he moved into transport-category business aviation, the world of large airliner-derived private and government aircraft, and spent nearly two decades in senior leadership there. He was chief executive of Comlux America LLC, a startup maintenance, repair and completion centre, and most recently before ALOFT served as chief operating officer for the North American operations of Flying Colours Corporation.

ALOFT named him Chief Executive Officer on January 20, 2022, in a planned transition on the retirement of Robert Sundin after more than forty years in aviation. The company he inherited was founded in 1976 by Harvey Patrick as PATS Aircraft Systems, built its reputation on auxiliary fuel systems for the Boeing 737, and rebranded as ALOFT AeroArchitects in 2015 to reflect a wider business in component manufacturing, VVIP and head-of-state completions, engineering and FAA Organization Designation Authorization services. At his appointment Meyer pointed to the Delaware base’s access to the New York-Washington corridor, government and military customers and high-net-worth owners as a platform for growth.

His tenure has been marked by capacity-building. In April 2025 ALOFT launched ALOFT Academy, a paid in-house training programme; Meyer argued that in a tight aviation labour market the company’s growth depended on developing its own pipeline of technicians. In February 2026 it opened an engineering office at Woodland Corporate Park in northwest Indianapolis, which he described as a way to meet customer demand and reach engineering talent closer to where it lives. By its 50th anniversary in April 2026 the company reported 30 completed VVIP and head-of-state interiors, multiple BBJ MAX 8 completion awards and a supplemental type certificate for the Gogo Galileo FDX antenna on 737 NG and MAX aircraft, and Meyer framed 2026 as a year of heavier investment to set up “the next chapter of the company”.
