Headquartered at Chennault International Airport (KCWF) in Lake Charles, Louisiana, Citadel Aviation is kicking off 2026 with remarkable momentum, securing 13 new VIP aircraft projects in January alone. These projects focus on high-end completions and refurbishments, demonstrating strong market demand for Citadel’s services.

This strategic move marks a significant milestone in Citadel Aviation’s commitment to investing in additional capacity and broadening its service capabilities to better meet the needs of its customers and the market. The transaction, which has successfully met all customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals, positions Citadel to enhance its offerings for discerning clients, including large-cabin business jets, at a premier location for private and corporate flight operations.

“Establishing a strategic presence at Dallas Love Field is an exciting and proud moment for Citadel Aviation,” said Greg Colgan, CEO of Citadel Aviation. “This expansion enables us to deliver premier maintenance, modifications, and refurbishment services for large-cabin business jets right in the heart of Dallas. We are thrilled to welcome the exceptional team formerly with Bravo Aviation into the Citadel family. Their expertise, passion, and dedication align perfectly with our shared vision for the future. This expansion immediately strengthens our ability to serve clients with the exceptional quality and reliability they expect from Citadel.”

While financial terms remain confidential, Citadel remains focused on delivering superior expertise in luxury cabin interiors, maintenance, repair, overhaul (MRO), and engineering for VIP aircraft.
