Top executives of Elliott Aviation enthused at an NBAA 2002 press conference Monday about a number of new developments of the venerable family-owned corporate sales and technical services company, not the least of which is the rapidly approaching opening of its new completion center at Quad Cities Airport in Moline, Ill. Company president Wynn Elliott and Al Nitchman, vice president of operations, also reported on a variety of programs updating capabilities of the new or used aircraft it handles, including expected receipt of some 15 new STCs on advanced equipment to add to the more than 50 it already has.
Elliott told NBAA Convention News that while the company expects to upgrade all four of its facilities, the $6 million completion center at Moline is the “centerpiece” of the company’s growth strategy. “We have a five-year plan for each of our facilities, but none as extensive as at Quad Cities, which is our home base.” The center, scheduled for grand opening in March 2003, will provide a totally controlled environment for a fully integrated complex that will handle paint, interiors, cabinetry, cabin amenities and avionics mods for light to medium-size turbine aircraft.
