Yellowstone Regional Airport (KCOD) in Cody, Wyoming, has welcomed a second aviation services provider with the opening of the Beacon Air Group FBO. For Beacon, this marks its second location, having opened its first FBO in Billings, Montana, in 2023.
At KCOD, the company refurbished and upgraded an existing 3,000-sq-ft, pet-friendly terminal, offering concierge service, passenger lounge, 20-seat conference room, business center, crew car, and vehicle parking.
A gateway to Yellowstone National Park, the FBO also has a 9,000-sq-ft hangar that can accommodate aircraft up to a Citation Excel; through agreements, it can provide shelter for larger midsize business jets. Company owner Joel Simmons told AIN that he is now exploring opportunities for additional development on the field, including a hangar capable of housing large-cabin private jets.
“While Beacon Air Group is new to Cody in name, our roots here run deep,” explained Simmons. “We’ve proudly developed the last 14 hangars at the airport and have served as advocates and visionaries for its growth.” He added that the company is excited to build on that legacy and “support Cody’s aviation future with our new FBO.”
As an Avfuel-branded facility, Beacon participates in the fuel provider’s Avtrip customer loyalty programs, as well as contract fuel pricing.
