Tallvine-Backed Odyssey Aviation North America Unveils Rebrand to Velocity FBO Network

via Business Wire

Odyssey Aviation North America today announced its rebranding to Velocity FBO Network (“Velocity”), reflecting the company’s evolution to unify its North America operations and accelerate expansion under the new ownership of Tallvine Partners (“Tallvine”). This rebranding solidifies Velocity’s commitment to operational and service excellence as an independent fixed base operator (“FBO”) network in North America and supports a robust pipeline of FBO acquisitions.

Nearly sixteen years ago, the unified Odyssey Aviation brand was created through a collaboration between Odyssey Aviation Bahamas (“Odyssey Bahamas”) and Velocity’s predecessor, Odyssey Aviation North America, with the goal of creating a distinct brand identity that would foster mutual growth. With the rebranding of Odyssey Aviation North America to Velocity FBO Network, each will operate as independent entities moving forward. Odyssey Bahamas and Velocity FBO Network remain committed to a strong commercial partnership, and the two organizations will continue to cooperate in marketing efforts to shared customers and enhance each other’s commercial initiatives.

“This rebrand marks an exciting new era for our team and our customers,” said Chad Farischon, CEO of Velocity FBO Network. “Our partnership with Odyssey Bahamas has been a meaningful part of our success, and with Tallvine’s support, we’re excited to continue to expand through a focused and thoughtful approach under the Velocity brand.”

Farischon continued, “We expect several FBO acquisitions to close in the coming months. Now more than ever, we are committed to building a brand that captures our unique vision, principles, and ambition.”

Ed Zwirn, Operating Director at Tallvine Partners, added: “We are thrilled to support this rebranding, which sets a clear course for continued growth and leadership in the FBO space. This reflects not only the strength of the company’s legacy, but also its forward-looking vision for delivering exceptional service, operational excellence, and an elevated experience for customers.”

The rebranding will be phased in over the next 90 days, during which all signage, digital platforms, uniforms, and service materials will transition to the new Velocity FBO Network identity.

Committed to customer-first service, operational excellence, and sustainable growth, Velocity is poised to become one of the most forward-thinking FBO networks in the nation.

Velocity FBO Network currently operates full-service Fixed Base Operations at Kissimmee Gateway Airport (KISM), Willow Run Airport in Ypsilanti (KYIP), and St. Simons Island Airport at McKinnon Field (KSSI).
