Bluetail has ranked no. 5 in aerospace and aviation and no. 1,041 overall on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in America.

The annual Inc. 5000 recognises independent and entrepreneurial businesses based on their growth. Among the 5,000 companies on this year’s list, the median three-year revenue growth rate was 130 per cent, while the companies collectively added more than 627,208 jobs to the US economy over the past three years.

Bluetail co-founder and CEO Roberto Guerrieri says: “Growth like this tells us that aviation maintenance teams see the value in modernising how records are managed. Aviation is finally ready to bring the same innovation it’s applied everywhere else to aircraft records and documents. We’re proud to be building a solution that helps the aviation industry.”

Bluetail provides digital aircraft records management software for business aviation, allowing aircraft records and documents to be managed digitally.

Inc. editor-in-chief Mike Hofman says: “Every company on the Inc. 5000 has a story of perseverance, smart decision-making and a refusal to sit still. Their growth reflects more than strong financial performance; it reflects creativity, resilience and the customer focus required to build companies that make a lasting impact. We congratulate all honourees on this significant achievement.”

The 2026 Inc. 5000 Conference & Gala will take place in October in Dallas, Texas, while the top 500 companies will be listed in the autumn issue of Inc. Magazine.
