Odyssey Aviation has officially opened its new, multi-million-dollar FBO at the Bahamas' Exuma International Airport (MYEF). The facility—open daily from sunrise to sunset, with after-hours callout available—includes a 4,800-sq-ft terminal with a spacious passenger lounge and refreshment bar, conference room, pilot lounge with flight planning area, and in-house Bahamian customs and immigration service.
Additionally, the complex includes a fuel farm with a capacity of 55,000 gallons of jet-A and 20,000 gallons of avgas. It is served by a trio of 5,000-gallon jet refuelers and a 1,000-gallon avgas tanker.
The company has a large footprint in the Bahamas with an FBO at Lynden Pindling International Airport (MYNN) in Nassau and handling services at Eleuthera Governor’s Harbour International Airport (MYEM) and Rock Sound International Airport (MYER), also on Eleuthera. A member of the Paragon Aviation network, it also has facilities in Kissimmee, Florida (KISM); St. Simons Island, Georgia (KSSI); and Detroit, Michigan (KYIP).
“We are excited to open our new terminal building at Odyssey Aviation Exuma, which represents our commitment to providing world-class service and facilities for our customers,” said company CEO Steven Kelly. “The new terminal will enhance the overall travel experience for visiting passengers and crewmembers, and we look forward to welcoming them to our facility.”
