Nearly a year after acquiring The Maintenance Group, Elliott Aviation has completed its integration and rebranding of the Atlanta-based MRO provider, adding a fourth MRO facility for the Moline, Illinois-based aviation services company. Located at DeKalb-Peachtree Airport (KPDK), the facility offers maintenance and avionics services for Gulfstream, Bombardier Challenger, Learjet, Dassault Falcon Jet, Cessna Citation, Beechcraft, and Hawker airframes.

“Our integration is complete and we’ve built a very strong team at our KPDK facility, positioned for continued growth and ready to support the needs of our customers at KPDK and in the Southeast region,” said Elliott president and CEO Greg Sahr.

From a 40,000-sq-ft facility, the 25 workers there can perform airframe inspections, structural repairs and modifications, wing corrosion repair, DAR import/export airworthiness approvals, STC installation and certification projects, and pre-purchase inspections.

Maintenance technicians at the site average 25 years of experience. “The staff here at KPDK have strong experience, and we look forward to continuing to build our relationships with local customers, as well as establishing new ones,” said Craig Oehring, Elliott's Atlanta site manager.

The company also operates aircraft sales under the Elliott Jets brand and has other MRO facilities in Moline; Des Moines, Iowa; and Minneapolis.
