Citadel Aviation strengthens global aircraft refurbishment and fit-out services

Lake Charles, Louisiana-based Citadel Completions has rebranded as Citadel Aviation to reflect its expanded global aviation offerings, going beyond VIP aircraft completions.

The change marks “a new chapter” under CEO Greg Colgan, who joined the company in August 2025 from MRO Holdings.

The firm now offers full-service capabilities across custom completions, refurbishment projects, fleet services, and maintenance to meet growing demand in the VIP and elite custom aircraft market.

Colgan emphasised the company’s focus on operational excellence, saying, “Operational credibility is our most valuable asset. My role is to empower the right experts to succeed. Talented people thrive on accountability and the drive to win. By combining technical expertise with a long-term, partnership-focused mindset, we are building a resilient, high-performing organization that delivers predictable, high-quality solutions for our clients.”

Citadel Aviation’s expansion supports clients seeking end-to-end aircraft interior fit-outs, refurbishment of existing interiors, and ongoing maintenance programmes. The company’s approach integrates technical skill, bespoke design solutions, and strategic planning to ensure projects are delivered on time and to the precise standards demanded by VIP operators.

The rebranding also positions Citadel Aviation as a global partner for aircraft owners and operators, highlighting the company’s commitment to consistent quality, operational reliability, and customised service delivery across international markets.

With this strategic shift, Citadel Aviation aims to become the preferred provider for complex VIP and custom aircraft refurbishment and maintenance projects, supporting both single-aircraft owners and large fleet operators worldwide.
