Aircraft Management

If you are looking to own an aircraft without the expertise, time, or knowledge about all the aspects of aircraft ownership, we can streamline the process and protect the value of your asset throughout your ownership . Our services include managing the maintenance of your aircraft with a dedicated Director of Maintenance, pilot staffing and training, fuel savings, management of operating costs, insurance, storage, and much more. By possessing an FAA-charter certificate, we can also offer the option of generating revenue with your aircraft when not in-use and, potentially, reduce your liability of operating an aircraft for your business.

Aircraft Acquisition

Purchasing an aircraft entails many variables that, without the proper knowledge, can make the process very risky. With Odyssey's expertise in aircraft acquisition and management, we can assist in the due dilligence of the purchase by reviewing aircraft records, properly outline operating costs and expectations, forecasting expected maintenance expenses, spotting buried discrepancies that may be costly to correct, and many other potential pitfalls that can make ownership burdensome. An aircraft is a valuable asset. Let Odyssey help you preserve that asset.

Comfort

We will get you on your way faster than traditional travel and in the comfort and privacy that will help you remain productive, refreshed, and on the schedule that works for you.

Ryan Gucwa

Ever since he could remember, Ryan was always fascinated by airplanes like many kids his age were. As he grew up, that passion only intensified as his parents would reward his good grades in elementary school with trips to visit the airport and watch airplanes take-off and land. Ryan graduated with a bachelor's degree in Aviation Management and Flight Operations from Jacksonville University and received all of his flight training from Delta Airlines subsidiary (Delta Connection Academy). To combine with his craving for adventure, Ryan began his professional pilot career as a flight instructor in South America. Once he returned to the U.S., Ryan was hired by a growing company in Tampa, Florida to be their corporate pilot and, eventually, form a formal flight department for the company. Ryan grew that corporate flight department into a business which became, what is known today as, Odyssey Airways.
