Citadel rebranding is a strategic step onward
As part of the rebranding, Citadel Aviation, which is headquartered at Chennault International in Lake Charles, Louisiana, has unveiled a modern logo, a wing, symbolising elegance, safety and a premium flying experience.
Under Colgan's leadership, the company is fostering a culture of credibility, accountability and operational excellence.

Citadel Completions is rebranding as Citadel Aviation, a strategic transformation that reflects the company's evolution from a VIP completions specialist to a comprehensive provider of global aviation services. This rebranding aligns with Citadel's new vision to become the preferred global partner for maintenance, modification, refurbishment and completions in the VIP and elite custom aircraft market. The change also marks a new chapter under the leadership of recently appointed CEO, Greg Colgan.
