Nebraska-headquartered private jet management business Jet Linx Aviation has acquired Elliott Aviation, a US flight service company that offers aircraft sales and aviation services including maintenance, paint and custom interior design.

Jet Linx president and CEO Jamie Walker says: “Both Jet Linx and Elliot Aviation are respected family businesses and industry leaders that have enjoyed a thriving partnership for more than two decades. This acquisition will enable Jet Linx to expand its operations in the Midwest as well as provide private jet management services and jet card offerings to Elliott Aviation's clients, allowing it to continue serving our aircraft owners' maintenance, paint and refurbishment needs while focusing on the development of its core business. This is not just an acquisition, but a significant expansion of our twenty-year partnership.”

Founded in 1936, Elliott Aviation offers aircraft sales, maintenance and avionics, accessory repair and overhaul services as well as custom interior design and paint services. Serving the business aviation industry nationally and internationally, it has facilities in Moline, Illinois; Des Moines, Iowa; and Minneapolis, Minnesota.

“For over twenty years, Jet Linx has been an excellent partner and has become a highly admired industry leader,” adds Elliot Aviation chairman and CEO Wynn Elliott. “As Elliott Aviation enhances our focus on our maintenance, repair and overhaul business, we wanted to find the right company to take over existing aircraft management division. As Jet Linx shares many of our core values, they are the ideal choice to take over this part of our business.”

Jet Linx plans to acquire other respected and established private jet management companies as an integral part of its growth strategy and national expansion across the United States, including planned future base locations in Florida and California. Since 2015, Jet Linx has acquired two other private jet management companies; ProJet Aviation in Washington DC and Flight Concepts in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The acquisition of Elliott Aviation's private jet management business comes on the heels of the Jet Linx fleet surpassing 100 million miles flown and ahead of the celebration of the company's 20th anniversary later this year. Jet Linx is poised for another year of growth with the commencement of private jet management services and jet card sales through its dedicated private terminals over the next three months in New York, Boston, Chicago and Austin.

More importantly, Jet Linx is committed to managed, strategic and sustained growth in its number of private jet aircraft, jet card members and locations across the country, as well as to the highest and most stringent safety standards in the private aviation industry.
