Moline, IL – February 2, 2026 — Elliott Aviation is marking its 90th anniversary with a special incentive for customers upgrading to select Garmin full cockpit retrofit programs. For every qualifying Garmin cockpit installation completed in 2026, Elliott Aviation will include the customer’s first year of Garmin databases at no cost, along with a Garmin MARQ Aviation smartwatch.
The anniversary incentive applies to the following Garmin avionics upgrades installed by Elliott Aviation:
- Garmin G5000 installations for the Citation 560XL (Excel, XLS, and XLS+)
- Garmin G5000 installations for the Beechjet 400A and Hawker 400XP
- Garmin G1000 NXi installations for King Air aircraft
- Garmin G600 TXi and GFC 600 upgrades for the Citation CJ1 and CJ2
With more than 500 Garmin full-cockpit retrofits completed, Elliott Aviation has performed more Garmin G5000 and G1000 NXi installations than any other dealer in the world. That experience enables industry-leading downtimes and highly predictable installation schedules for aircraft owners.
Elliott Aviation currently offers installation timelines as short as 15 days for standalone G1000 NXi installations and 25 days for Garmin G5000 installations in the Citation 560XL.
“Customers choose Elliott because they want predictable outcomes,” said Bill Forbes, Senior Vice President of Sales and Avionics Programs. “Our volume of Garmin retrofit work allows us to control downtime and deliver installations on schedule, and this anniversary program is a way to thank customers for that trust.”
All installations are completed by factory-trained technicians and supported by Elliott Aviation’s in-house engineering, certification, and support teams.
The 90th anniversary incentive is available for a limited time and applies only to qualifying Garmin installations completed by Elliott Aviation in 2026.
