Kinston, North Carolina-based charter provider flyExclusive is equipping its fleet of Citation Excel midsize twinjets with Garmin G5000 flight decks that are expected to increase efficiency, reliability, and safety. Dallas-based Force Aviation will install the G5000 flight deck in 10 of flyExclusive’s Excels.

The Part 135 charter operator said the new flight deck will not only serve to modernize its Excel fleet but also increase dispatch reliability, which will help optimize its fleet availability, reducing trip cancellations and the need for replacement lift. As well, the G5000 will improve safety by providing crews with increased situational awareness and additional safety measures.

“By upgrading our aircraft with the G5000, we’re elevating our fleet to incorporate the best of the best in avionics technology,” said flyExclusive president Tommy Sowers. “This and other investments we are making in technology will help further our mission of providing the safest, most reliable, and most efficient private jet experiences in the market.”
