Moline, Illinois-based Elliott Aviation has rebranded its aircraft sales division as Elliott Jets. “We’ve been quietly selling airplanes for nearly eight decades,” said Todd Spangler, president of the new venture. “This rebranding of our aircraft sales division better reflects the evolution of Elliott in the marketplace.”

The company has formed strategic relationships with Textron Aviation and Jet Linx Aviation. “We are in a unique position to differentiate ourselves and capture a share of the aircraft brokerage and acquisition market with the extensive resources at Elliott and our customer focused processes,” said Spangler. The Elliott Jets website is now live with aircraft listings and inventory, information on buying and selling aircraft, media and profiles of Elliott Jets personnel. The launch entails expansion, as well, with two new sales locations and two new hires, Todd Spangler and Doug Giese.

In other news, Elliott Aviation celebrated the completion of its 150th installation of a Garmin G1000 flight deck in a King Air; it also has announced the development of a manual pleated shade for King Air 350 cabin windows, which replaces the current polarized-shade function.
