Everside Capital Partners Announces Sale of Odyssey Aviation U.S.

Everside Capital Partners, LLC (“Everside”) is pleased to announce the sale of Odyssey Aviation U.S. (“Odyssey” or the “Company”) to Tallvine Partners, an independent investment firm focused on middle-market infrastructure assets. The transaction marks a successful exit for Everside, its co-investment partner Granite Creek Capital Partners, L.L.C. (“Granite Creek”), and Odyssey’s majority owner, Equivu Capital, LLC (“Equivu”).

Odyssey has established itself as a premier fixed-base operator (FBO) in the private aviation sector, providing comprehensive services including aircraft de-icing, hangar rental, fuel supply, and ground handling. The company maintains strategic operations across three locations: Kissimmee Gateway Airport (ISM) in Florida, Willow Run Airport (YIP) in Michigan, and McKinnon St. Simons Island Airport (SSI) in Georgia.

During Everside’s ownership period, the company successfully expanded its footprint through the strategic acquisition of its McKinnon St. Simons Island Airport location. This growth initiative was executed under the leadership of Sal Calvino, Odyssey’s Chairman of the Board and CEO of Equivu, alongside Ken Allison, CEO of Odyssey.

“Everside, alongside its trusted partner Granite Creek, which led the transaction, was deeply impressed by Sal and his team’s professional expertise, relentless hard work, and unwavering dedication to Odyssey’s success,” said Everside’s Co-Founder and Managing Partner, Moritz Poehl.
