MOLINE, IL. (November 12, 2026) – Elliott Aviation, a leading provider of business aviation services, today announced the completion of its first Collins Aerospace Pro Line Fusion flight deck installation in a Challenger 604. The installation expands Elliott Aviation’s cockpit modernization capabilities into the Challenger platform and builds on the company’s experience completing more than 500 full cockpit retrofits.
The Pro Line Fusion upgrade gives Challenger 604 operators an opportunity to modernize the aircraft’s flight deck with current-generation avionics while continuing to operate a proven long-range business jet. For Elliott Aviation, the completion represents the latest addition to a retrofit portfolio spanning some of the most widely operated aircraft in business aviation.
“Completing our first Pro Line Fusion installation in a Challenger 604 is a natural extension of what our avionics team has been doing for decades,” said Bill Forbes, Senior Vice President of Sales and Avionics Programs at Elliott Aviation. “We’ve completed more than 500 full cockpit retrofits across Citation, King Air, Beechjet and Hawker aircraft. Bringing that experience to the Challenger 604 gives operators another proven option for modernizing an aircraft that remains an incredibly capable platform.”
Elliott Aviation has completed more than 100 Garmin G5000 retrofits in Citation Excel/XLS and Beechjet 400A/Hawker 400XP aircraft, along with hundreds of Garmin G1000 and G1000 NXi installations in King Air aircraft. Together, these programs have made full cockpit modernization one of Elliott Aviation’s most established avionics capabilities.
The Collins Aerospace Pro Line Fusion upgrade brings a modern integrated flight deck to the Challenger 604, replacing legacy avionics with advanced displays and systems designed to enhance situational awareness, streamline cockpit operations, and provide operators with a modern avionics platform for the future.
The completion further expands Elliott Aviation’s avionics retrofit offerings across the Citation, King Air, and Challenger markets. It reinforces the company’s position as one of the industry’s most experienced providers of full flight deck modernization.
