FBO operator Odyssey Aviation has acquired Golden Isles Aviation, the lone service provider at resort-area McKinnon St. Simons Island Airport (KSSI) in Georgia. The FBO—a member of the World Fuel-sponsored Air Elite Network—will retain its name, and Larry Wade, its president and CEO will join Odyssey as a partner and member of its board of directors. The purchase was funded by private equity firms Granite Creek Capital Partners and Everside Capital.

The facility includes a 6,000-sq-ft terminal with an atrium lobby exhibiting a suspended restored biplane, pilot lounge and snooze room, crew showers, full kitchen, flight-planning room, 10-seat conference room, and covered rampside wrap-around porch. The Phillips 66-branded location also offers 70,000 sq ft of hangar space that can accommodate aircraft up to a Falcon 2000.
