What Velocity FBO Network does
Velocity FBO Network is a private, PE-backed fixed-base operator (FBO) platform providing ground aviation services to private and general aviation operators at airports across the United States. The company was formed in June 2025 when private equity firm Tallvine Partners acquired Odyssey Aviation North America and rebranded it to Velocity FBO Network, unifying operations at three legacy locations in Florida, Michigan, and Georgia under an independent identity. Velocity has since pursued an aggressive acquisition-led growth strategy, adding the Havasu Air Center at Lake Havasu City Airport in October 2025 and BTR Jet Center at Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport in February 2026, bringing the network to five airports spanning the Southeast, Midwest, Southwest, and South.
The company's core service offering is comprehensive FBO support delivered at each airport location, including aircraft fueling, ground support, pilot lounges, hangar storage, protected aircraft parking, flight planning, concierge services, maintenance, integrated catering, and customs clearance. Technology is primarily physical infrastructure (upgraded fuel delivery systems, expanded hangar capacity, ground support equipment) rather than software; network system integration across acquired facilities is targeted for completion by June 2026 to standardize service delivery. Velocity retains acquired brand identities and original management teams at acquired sites to preserve local customer relationships.
Velocity generates revenue through transaction-based fees on aviation services rendered at each FBO location. Pricing is quote-based, varies by airport, aircraft type, and service, and is not publicly disclosed. The customer base consists of private aircraft owners, corporate flight departments, and charter operators requiring aviation services outside major metropolitan hubs. The company is wholly controlled by Tallvine Partners with no disclosed minority investors, and no revenue or headcount growth figures have been publicly disclosed.

Velocity FBO Network competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Signature Flight Support: The world's largest FBO network with 200+ locations, including significant US presence. Direct competitor providing the same fueling, ground support, hangar, and concierge services that Velocity offers, but at far greater network density.
- Atlantic Aviation: Major US-focused FBO chain operating more than 100 fixed-base operators. Competes head-to-head with Velocity at shared airports and offers the same core suite of private aviation services.
- Million Air: International FBO network with multiple US locations. Provides the same fueling, hangar, and concierge services to private aviation operators and competes for the same customer base as Velocity.
- Jet Aviation: Global FBO and business aviation services company with US locations. Offers overlapping MRO, fueling, and ground services to the same private aviation customer segment.
- Sheltair Aviation: US-based FBO network with locations across the Southeast and other regions. Directly comparable network operator serving the same private aviation operators with fueling, hangar, and concierge services.
- Ross Aviation: FBO platform with US footprint, also pursuing a multi-location strategy. Comparable service offering and customer base to Velocity's growing network.
- TAC Air: Regional FBO chain providing fueling, hangar, and ground services at multiple US airports. Direct competitor with overlapping service portfolio for private aviation customers.
Regional players
- Odyssey Aviation Bahamas: Former branding partner of Velocity's predecessor (Odyssey Aviation North America) for nearly 16 years. Operates FBOs in the Bahamas and Caribbean—geographically adjacent but not directly competing in Velocity's US footprint.
Emerging players
- Modern Aviation: Newer PE-backed FBO platform pursuing a multi-location strategy in the US. Highly comparable as a fellow growth-stage consolidator competing for acquisition targets and network density.
Others
- Avfuel: Major supplier of aviation fuel and related services to FBOs across North America. Ecosystem participant rather than direct competitor, but critical to the supply chain underlying Velocity's fueling revenue.
