The rebranding to Citadel Aviation marks a transformative moment for the company, which was founded as a specialist in VIP cabin completions for large-cabin business jets and narrowbody aircraft. Under new CEO Greg Colgan, who joined the company in late 2025, Citadel Aviation has embraced a broader mission: to become the preferred global partner for maintenance, modification, refurbishment, and completions in the VIP and elite custom aircraft market.

“The name ‘Citadel Aviation’ better reflects who we are today and where we are headed,” said Greg Colgan, CEO of Citadel Aviation. “We have grown from a completions specialist into a full-service provider of aviation solutions for the most discerning owners and operators in the world. This new brand signals our commitment to delivering comprehensive, world-class services across the entire lifecycle of VIP aircraft.”

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

The rebranding is accompanied by a strategic expansion of the company’s capabilities and geographic footprint. Citadel Aviation has signalled its intention to expand into additional markets and service locations, building on its established reputation for quality and craftsmanship in VIP aviation modifications.

Citadel Aviation begins 2026 with a strong backlog of projects and a growing team of skilled aviation professionals. The company’s commitment to quality, innovation, and customer service remains unchanged under the new brand, with the same dedicated team continuing to serve clients with the expertise and attention to detail for which Citadel has become known.
