“This facility gives us the ability to triple our capacity here,” said Wynn Elliott, president of Elliott Aviation at Quad City Airport (MLI), Moline, Ill. The company dedicated the new completion center in February. “If you take our historic revenues and plug this new tool into that mix, we believe it will give us the tools we need to triple our revenues because we can handle larger jobs.”
Founded in 1936 by Elliott’s parents, Herb and Arlene, Elliott Aviation today employs approximately 400 people at its facilities in Moline; Des Moines, Iowa; Minneapolis; and Omaha, Neb. “We will be doing some facility upgrades at our other locations, but at this point we intend to refine and perfect what we have here and continue to expand our reach within our market niche–light to midsize jets and turboprops,” Elliott said. “We now offer a serious alternative to our competitors.” Previously, the FBO did interior and avionics work but had to send aircraft elsewhere for paint.
