Paragon Aviation Group will welcome Odyssey Aviation Kissimmee as the newest member of its network of independent FBOs starting on January 1. The facility, one of three service providers at Central Florida’s Kissimmee Gateway Airport, offers an executive lobby, pilot lounge, flight-planning office and 100,000 sq ft of hangar space. Owned by Quantem FBO Group, the facility can handle aircraft up to a Boeing 737-400.

“Our Detroit location at Willow Run Airport has experienced growth through the Paragon Network,” noted Quantem CEO Ken Allison. “The exceptional value we have seen made bringing this location into Paragon Aviation Group an easy decision.”

The Kissimmee location is part of the reconstituted Odyssey chain, which made its return to the U.S. earlier this year when Allison rejoined his old partner Steven Kelly, owner of Odyssey Aviation Bahamas, after a hiatus of several years from the FBO business. Paragon's network now numbers 28 locations, mostly in the U.S.
