USA: Opening of a facility in Sarasota
Elixir Aircraft is proud to announce its first site in the United States. Situated at Sarasota Bradenton Airport in Florida, this facility will focus on the reassembly of aircraft intended for delivery to clients in the US. The demand for Elixir aircraft in the American market is substantial, with over 200 units already pre-ordered. This expansion will result in the employment of approximately 200 new staff members at the Sarasota location, in addition to the existing 200 staff members in France. Elixir Aircraft now has four sites: three production sites in Europe, at La Rochelle airport - where a new 160,000 sq ft factory will be built in 2026 - and in Aytré; and a reassembly site in the United States, in Sarasota (FL).
