In April 2024 Elixir Aircraft announced that two more European ATOs joined its order book:
“We are thrilled to announce the acquisition of Elixir aircraft for our clients in the UK,” said Ian A Henderson, CEO of Rubric Aviation. “The addition of these exceptional planes to our fleet underscores our commitment to providing unparalleled aviation experiences and ushering in a new era of aviation excellence. Elixir planes embody the pinnacle of innovation, performance, and reliability.”
Panamedia trusts the 4th generation Elixir training airplane for its bases of Valencia, Castellón and Mallorca. They were particularly attracted by its main features: a full glass cockpit, landing gear with shock absorbers, and an integrated BRS parachute.
“When I first read the technical characteristics of the Elixir, I wanted to fly it personally to feel it. Therefore, I traveled to La Rochelle where the Elixir Aircraft team welcomed me with open arms and explained everything to me in detail before taking a beautiful flight. For our Panamedia ATO, the Elixir more than meets our expectations and we intend to renew our fleet with many Elixir.” declared José Parejo Navas, Director of Panamedia International Flight School.
Emmanuel Gil, Head of Sales Elixir Aircraft Europe commented “we are delighted that Rubric Aviation and Panamedia have chosen the Elixir Aircraft to add to their respective fleets. This underlines the confidence ATO’s have in the Elixir and its perfect fit for the professional flight training organizations.” Elixir Aircraft’s order book now includes 200+ orders, pre-orders and LOI.
