iFLY makes the dream of flight a reality by giving customers the ability to fly in a safe and reliable environment. This experiential entertainment company, that created modern indoor skydiving, started in 1998 by CEO Alan Metni who gave up his lucrative legal career to follow his dreams. By developing the technology to create a stable, wall-to-wall cushion of air in a flight chamber, iFLY could offer an incredibly realistic and safe indoor skydiving experience. 

The Company opened its first indoor skydiving facility in 1999. Today, this multimillion-dollar company owns, franchises, and licenses 67 wind tunnels in 13 countries, and it’s building 22 more, including two in China. IFly has also constructed them for the militaries of the U.S., Spain, Brazil, Egypt, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates.

Samuels & Company, Inc. has been the Company’s exclusive Advisor and Broker in the United States for the past three years and has helped iFLY in its expansion efforts nationally. Safe, challenging, thrilling, and suitable for almost everyone, over 7 million people have flown safely in iFLY!
