A leading supplier of parts and maintenance for Eclipse 500 and 550 jets is going out of business.
Resurgent Aviation Solutions, founded in 2016 in Aurora, Illinois, by an executive who led the engineering and manufacturing of the Eclipse 550, informed customers that it has elected to “wind down all business operations and liquidate all remaining assets.”
“All finished goods will be made available for outright purchase using an auction format,” according to a May 14, 2026, notice on the company’s website. “The liquidation will be completed over several auctions over the next two months. Interested parties are encouraged to check the auction website frequently as new items will be added periodically.”
“Many of the auction items will be the last items ever produced or repaired by RAS,” the notice continued. “Due to the very limited number of items available, and the finality of all repair programs, interested parties are encouraged to obtain spares through the auction to ensure the long-term airworthiness of their aircraft.”
Company officials note the auction is limited to finished products.
“All tooling, equipment, and repair components will be disposed of at the conclusion of the auction warranty period,” they add.
The Eclipse 500, a Very Light Jet, was certified by the FAA in 2006. Based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Eclipse Aviation produced 260 jets before halting operations in October 2008. A month later, the company declared bankruptcy.
In August 2009, Eclipse Aerospace bought the Eclipse Aviation assets and announced an updated aircraft, the Eclipse 550, in October 2011. That company merged with One Aviation in April 2015, which entered Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidation in February 2021.
As of today, there are approximately 200 Eclipse 500s still flying, with most of those in the United States. There are also about 30 Eclipse 550s still flying, again primarily in North America.
