Elliott Aviation and Jet Air, Inc. Announce Delivery of Fourth Garmin G5000 Equipped Citation 560XL, Marking Key Milestone in Fleet Modernization

Elliott Aviation announces the successful delivery of the fourth Cessna Citation 560XL equipped with the Garmin G5000 integrated flight deck to Jet Air, Inc. As Garmin’s leading retrofitter, Elliott Aviation has completed more Garmin G5000 installations on the Citation 560XL than any other provider.

The installation continues Jet Air’s long-term strategy of modernizing its charter fleet with the most advanced avionics technology available. The upgrade brings Jet Air’s aircraft the latest in avionics performance, including modern touchscreen displays, advanced navigation, enhanced safety features, synthetic vision, and a fully integrated autopilot system designed to reduce pilot workload and improve dispatch reliability.

“This delivery reflects the strength of our relationship with Jet Air and our continued leadership as Garmin’s most experienced retrofit dealer,” said Michael Parrish, president of Elliott Aviation. “Helping operators modernize their aircraft while supporting them throughout the process is at the core of how we do business and represents the customer partnerships we value most.”

Matt Wolford, executive vice president and partner of Jet Air, Inc., says the upgrade is a key part of the company’s long-term focus on performance, safety, and operational dependability. “Modernizing our Citation 560XL fleet is a critical investment in delivering the best reliability and safety for our passengers,” Wolford says. “Minimizing downtime is essential for our fleet, and all four of our G5000 installations this year were completed on schedule. By combining Elliott’s interior and paint touch-up services with each avionics upgrade, we were able to return each aircraft with the technology and appearance of a brand-new plane. Partnering with Elliott Aviation, a company with extensive experience in these installations, gave us the confidence that the work would be done right and on time.”

The announcement follows Elliott Aviation’s recently introduced incentive, offering $75,000 off a Garmin G5000 installation for the first five Citation XLS+ operators to contract and deposit for an operator’s trade-in avionics.
