Textron Aviation announced this week that its company-owned service facilities in Greensboro, N.C., Wilmington, Del., Newburgh, N.Y. and Atlanta, Ga., have received new certifications from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). With the expanded certifications, the Newburgh and Greensboro facilities can service Beechcraft King Air 90-, 200- and 300-series aircraft and Hawker 125-series jets, while the Wilmington and Atlanta facilities are allowed to service Cessna Citation X-, Sovereign-, and Excel-series aircraft as well as the Citation Mustang.
“These new certifications represent progress in a global strategy to service all of our brands at each of our company-owned service facilities,” said Brad Thress, senior vice president, Customer Service. “We are delivering on our service commitments and these expanded capabilities will provide easier access to factory-direct support and expertise for our customers in the East.”
Textron Aviation owns 21 service centers of which 11 have received expanded certifications over the last year to service additional Textron Aviation products. The company plans for all their facilities to have expanded capabilities by year end.
