Interview: The Supersonic Race…Who Will Control the Skies?

In this video interview, posted April 30, 2026, I spoke with Oscar Garcia, an aviation entrepreneur and capital strategist who is positioning himself at the center of what he calls the next great infrastructure race in aerospace.

Oscar Garcia is the Chairman and CEO of InterFlight Global Corporation and leads IFG Capital’s High-Speed Flight Group, where his focus is less on the engineering of supersonic and suborbital travel, and more on the capital structures that will determine who owns and operates these future networks.

Oscar argued that high-speed aerospace transportation is no longer a technical question, but a financial and strategic one. The real battle, he said, is over who will control the “rails” of a projected $100 billion-plus market, as institutional capital begins to shape the sector much the way it has in the space economy.

In our conversation, I touched upon the following topics with Oscar:

  • You make a bold claim that high-speed flight is no longer a technology problem but an infrastructure and capital allocation problem. What has changed recently that gives you confidence we’ve crossed that threshold?
  • You draw a parallel to the space economy, where early capital is effectively deciding who “owns the rails.” What are the specific lessons from space that investors and aviation players are either applying, or still missing?
  • You project a $100 billion-plus market by 2030, with suborbital alone accounting for more than $50 billion. What are the underlying revenue streams that make that scale realistic?
  • Your Financial Business Roundtable emphasizes “aligning capital before acceleration.” What does misaligned capital look like in this sector, and how can it derail high-speed flight initiatives?
  • You describe this moment as a “narrow window” where fewer than 50 participants could shape the entire market. What kind of players are you trying to bring into that circle: traditional aerospace firms, private equity, sovereign funds, or new entrants?
  • If we fast-forward ten years, what does success look like? Who are the likely winners in high-speed aerospace transportation and what did they do early on that others failed to do?
