Velocity FBO Network has acquired BTR Jet Center, the fixed-base operator serving Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport (KBTR), extending its growing US footprint. The transaction builds on Velocity’s formation at the start of 2025 through the acquisition of Odyssey Aviation’s US assets, followed by the purchase of Havasu Air Center later that year.

Located on the East Ramp of Ryan Field, BTR Jet Center provides fuelling with Jet A and 100LL, pilot and passenger lounges, crew cars, flight planning facilities and concierge services for general aviation and business aircraft operators.

Velocity continues to expand through acquisition and development. As of February 2026, the company operates at Willow Run Airport in Detroit, Kissimmee Gateway in Orlando, St Simons Island in Georgia, Lake Havasu in Arizona and Baton Rouge, with further growth under evaluation.

Chad Farishon, chief executive officer of Velocity FBO Network, says: “We are excited to welcome BTR Jet, its employees and customers into the Velocity family and to bring our broader resources and platform capabilities to support ongoing growth and innovation at Baton Rouge.”
