Garmin’s G5000 is the new fully integrated flight deck retrofit for the Citation Excel and XLS, and is fully compliant with all future mandates and options. Amsterdam-based JetSupport will perform the very first European G5000 retrofit on a Citation Excel.

“We wish to congratulate JetSupport on securing the first European G5000 customer upgrade for the Citation Excel/XLS in Europe,” says Garmin vice president of aviation sales and marketing Carl Wolf. “We’ve seen a tremendous amount of interest for the G5000 in the Excel and XLS markets, and we continue to achieve certification milestones which align with an entry-into-service date early this summer.”

As an independent provider of MRO services and support solutions, JetSupport has been serving business aviation, special mission and commuter aircraft for over 17 years.
