Beacon Air Group has opened its newest FBO at Yellowstone Regional airport (KCOD) in Cody, Wyoming, marking the second location for the aviation service provider. The FBO began welcoming travellers this summer out of an existing facility formerly occupied by a corporate flight department and an FBO. The 3,000sq ft facility was renovated and upgraded to elevate the customer experience.

Beacon Air Group now serves as Yellowstone county’s premier FBO, offering pet-friendly accommodations, personalised concierge services, a business centre and conference room with seating for 20 and long-term vehicle parking, giving travellers the freedom to explore the region.

“While Beacon Air Group is new to Cody in name, our roots here run deep,” says Joel Simmons, owner of Beacon Air Group. “We’ve proudly developed the last 14 hangars at the airport and have long served as advocates and visionaries for its growth. We’re excited to continue that legacy and support Cody’s aviation future with our new FBO.”

Located on the eastern edge of Yellowstone National Park, Beacon Air Group provides easy access to Wyoming’s pristine wilderness and surrounding attractions, including the Buffalo Bill Center of the West, Shoshone National Forest, Whitney Western Art Museum and Buffalo Bill Dam. Pilots and crew can also access full-service ground handling, top-tier fuel, aircraft detailing, charter and management solutions, hangar space and the company’s expertise as a regional aviation real estate developer.

Beacon Air Group’s Cody FBO is its second fixed-base operation, following its first FBO at Billings Logan International airport, Montana, which opened in December 2023. As an Avfuel-branded partner, Beacon Air Group offers AVTRIP rewards and competitive pricing with Avfuel Contract Fuel. Customers will also benefit from transaction ease when using the Avfuel Pro Card at its FBOs with the ability to put everything, including fuel and non-fuel items with or without a fuel purchase, on one transaction, avoiding processing fees.

Now that the Cody FBO is operational, Beacon Air Group is exploring opportunities for additional developments on the KCOD airfield.
