Mesa, Arizona — August 18, 2026 — KP Aviation, a global leader in commercial aircraft and engine asset management and the distribution of Used Serviceable Material (USM), is proud to announce its inclusion on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing companies.
This marks the fifth time KP Aviation has earned a place on the prestigious Inc. 5000 list, recognizing the company’s sustained growth and continued momentum within the aviation industry.

KP Aviation’s continued presence on the list reflects its ability to grow while expanding its capabilities, customer base, global footprint, and position within the aviation aftermarket.
“Five appearances on the Inc. 5000 doesn’t happen by accident — it’s the result of our entire team that shows up every day, customers who trust us to deliver, and supply chain partners who make that delivery possible. Each recognition reflects those relationships and the hard work behind them. We’ve changed a lot over the years, and the best of that growth is still ahead of us.” — Linn Shaw, Chief Executive Officer.
KP Aviation’s history with the Inc. 5000 demonstrates a consistent track record of growth:
- 2020: No. 1,785
- 2021: No. 4,056
- 2024: No. 2,271
- 2025: No. 1,597
- 2026: No. 3,722
