Citadel Aviation, a premier provider of maintenance, modification, refurbishment, and completions for the V/VIP and elite custom aircraft market, announced it has secured 13 new VIP aircraft projects in January alone, demonstrating strong market demand for high-end business aviation services at the start of 2026.

“We are thrilled to launch 2026 with such strong momentum,” said Greg Colgan, CEO of Citadel Aviation. “These 13 projects demonstrate the confidence our customers place in Citadel Aviation’s capabilities and our team’s dedication to delivering outstanding results. We are committed to redefining what is possible in VIP aircraft modifications, and we look forward to showcasing our work throughout the year.”

Formerly known as Citadel Completions, the company rebranded as Citadel Aviation in January 2026 under the leadership of newly appointed CEO Greg Colgan. The rebranding reflects the company’s evolution from a VIP completions specialist to a comprehensive provider of global aviation services, with a new vision to become the preferred global partner for maintenance, modification, refurbishment, and completions in the VIP and elite custom aircraft market.

Citadel Aviation is headquartered at Chennault International Airport (KCWF) in Lake Charles, Louisiana, and offers comprehensive nose-to-tail solutions for large-cabin business jets and narrowbody aircraft. The company’s capabilities include custom interior completions, advanced connectivity installations, avionics upgrades, structural modifications, and full maintenance services.

The strong start to 2026 follows a period of strategic repositioning and investment for Citadel Aviation, including the recent expansion to Dallas Love Field, Texas. This expansion, which incorporated the former facilities and team of Bravo Aviation, provides Citadel with additional capacity and a strategic presence in the Dallas market to better serve its growing customer base across the United States.
