The Salina Airport Authority is proud to welcome Tricrest Aviation Insurance as the newest tenant based at the Salina Airport Industrial Center. Officially opening its doors in 2024, Tricrest Insurance Agency LLC brings a fresh, data-driven approach to aviation insurance, now backed by a physical presence in one of the Midwest’s most dynamic aviation hubs. Founded by licensed pilot and aerospace engineer Kyri Barton, who also serves as President, and Chief Operating Officer, Tricrest was built on the belief that pilots and aviation professionals deserve insurance solutions grounded in technical expertise and a deep understanding of risk. “Flying is part of my identity,” said Barton. “After years in systems engineering and advanced risk modeling—ranging from satellite navigation to aircraft systems and predictive maintenance—it became clear that my technical experience could directly improve how aviation insurance is done. I wanted to create a firm where pilots feel understood and supported—not just quoted.”
