Exodus currently has about 13,000 square feet of hangar and office space. The Jet Center will cater to corporate and cargo jets. Haney said the center will have anywhere from four to eight jets in its shop at one time undergoing maintenance or other services. Exodus has 15 employees, many of whom maintain three corporate jets. The rest of the business involves piston-powered aircraft.
Exodus also provides other services, such as corporate pilots and pilot training.
Haney, from Tehachapi, started Exodus in 1990. Along with Barnes Aviation, Exodus is the only other fixed-base operator at Fox Field. Haney said one of the biggest obstacles for the project and airfield is the cost of jet fuel. In other areas, the cost is as low at four cents a gallon. The present cost at Fox Airfield is 58 cents per gallon.
