Moline, IL, January 6, 2026 – Elliott Aviation announced today a limited-time incentive for Citation XLS+ operators, offering $75,000 off a Garmin G5000 integrated flight deck installation for the first five XLS+ aircraft that sign a contract and submit a deposit. All incentive installations must be completed in 2026.
The announcement coincides with Elliott Aviation expanding Garmin G5000 integrated flight deck installations to the Citation XLS+, extending its proven leadership across the Citation 560XL platform to include the XLS+.
Elliott Aviation has completed over 90 Garmin G5000 installations, more than any other dealer worldwide. The avionics operation is supported by three dedicated Garmin flight deck installation teams and more than 100,000 man-hours annually devoted to avionics installations, upgrades, engineering, and system integration.
“The Citation XLS+ is a natural fit for the G5000, and operators are looking for an installer with real depth on this platform,” said Bill Forbes, Senior Vice President of Avionics Programs at Elliott Aviation. “Our teams have been installing and supporting Garmin flight decks at scale for years, and that experience translates directly into predictable schedules and high-quality outcomes for our customers.”
The Garmin G5000 delivers a fully integrated, large-format flight deck for the Citation XLS+, improving situational awareness, automation, and connectivity while modernizing the aircraft for today’s operating environment. Elliott Aviation’s in-house engineering and Citation-specific expertise allow operators to complete the upgrade with confidence.
Elliott Aviation has led the industry as Garmin’s leading installer for 16 years and continues to set the standard for avionics modernization across business aviation.
The Garmin G5000 upgrade for the Citation XLS+ is now available at Elliott Aviation’s Garmin-authorized avionics facilities.
