Three Citations on the horizon for Silverhawk
Silverhawk has been serving charter customers for 27 years, has a Cessna Citation for just about any eventuality, and continues to add more. New tax breaks make fractional ownership a great option, it says.
Silverhawk's Citation Excel will be available for charter by the end of October.

Lincoln, Nebraska-based Silverhawk Aviation's latest Citation Excel has come out of the paint shop and is receiving new avionics, wi-fi and a brand new interior. All of its upgrades will be completed by the end of October, when it will be ready to serve the company's charter and fractional customers.

Silverhawk also recently purchased a Citation Ultra that will be receiving the same treatment and be ready to enter service around the end of the year, and it is also in the process of acquiring another Ultra that will have its upgrades completed in the first quarter of 2019.

These three jets will bring Silverhawk's fleet up to 16 aircraft.
