Odyssey Aviation launches seven locations

By Janice Wood · January 5, 2009 ·

Odyssey Aviation has launched seven additional locations through formation of a partnership between Odyssey Aviation Nassau and a group that formerly operated as a member of a nationally recognized FBO chain. The new alliance includes Odyssey Aviation in Nassau, Bahamas (MYNN), Asheville, N.C. (KAVL), Charleston, S.C. (KCHS), Chicago (KMDW), Cincinnati (KLUK), Columbus, Ohio (KCMH), Lafayette, La. (KLFT), and New Orleans (KNEW).

The idea for the joint venture was an easy one for the two friends and co-founders of Odyssey Aviation, Steven Kelly, president of Odyssey Bahamas, and Ken Allison, president of the seven new Odyssey locations. Both companies were members of the same FBO franchise for about a decade and had become like family, company officials said. For several years, the two CEOs had partnered their companies in joint marketing efforts and engaged in discussions about best practices and the direction of the industry.

The FBOs offer services ranging from ground support, parking, hangar, fuel, catering, rental cars, pilot lounges, courtesy vehicles, flight planning rooms, wireless internet and more. Odyssey Bahamas also has 24-hour Customs and Immigration located in the facility.
