Located at Miami’s Opa Locka Executive Airport (OPF), the Orion Jet Center is one of the largest independent Fixed Base Operators (FBO) in the nation. The 123,000 SF facility features state-of-the-art amenities, as well as cutting-edge security and technology. CMTA, operating as OCI Associates, designed the mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, and low voltage systems for the phased project that included a new Fixed Base Operator (FBO) Terminal and two Aircraft Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul (MRO) hangars.
The new, 25,000 SF terminal includes a large lobby, a lounge, planning and leisure space for VIP pilots, offices for crew and facility employees, conference rooms, a café, and a rooftop garden. An additional 20,000 SF is dedicated to tenant shops, offices, and a garage.
The two MRO hangars, strategically situated alongside other hangars, provide essential additional space for the airport and contain the equipment necessary to handle every type of aircraft. Each aircraft hangar is equipped with a unique fire suppression system that quickly dispatches high-expansion foam to extinguish flames and prevent reignition—a critical feature for protecting high-value assets within the hangars.
