TEXTRON AVIATION EXPANDING AFTERMARKET SUPPORT IN PERTH AND
MELBOURNE
Textron Aviation is moving to larger and modernized facilities
at both Jandakot airport in Perth and Essendon Fields airport in
Melbourne to grow service capacity and support parts availability
in the region.
In Perth, moving Textron Aviation’s Service Center to a larger
facility at Jandakot airport provides more space for servicing
aircraft — increasing shop capacity and aiding in faster scheduling
with minimal down time to keep customers flying. The new facility
will also provide more comfortable environments for customers and
employees. Textron Aviation expects to be fully operational in the
new facility by the end of July 2024.
“Investing in a larger and modern Textron Aviation Service
Center facility in Perth allows us to grow our capacity and better
assist customers with scheduled maintenance, modifications and
aircraft-on-ground support,” said Brian Rohloff, senior vice
president, Customer Support. “We take pride in enhancing the
customer experience at all of our service locations to keep people
moving and help customers evolve their aircraft to fit their
missions.”
In Melbourne, the company is adding 5,000 square feet of new
parts storage to a facility near Essendon Fields airport, located
within five minutes of all major carriers and the Textron Aviation
Service Center. The expansion increases parts storage by four times
the previous inventory in the region, leading to faster shipments
for customers. Textron Aviation is also adding a new in-region
parts customer support and warranty team in Melbourne to support
all Cessna, Beechcraft and Hawker parts needs. Textron Aviation
anticipates being fully functional in the expanded Melbourne
facility by the end of June 2024.
“Increasing parts inventory and team members in Australia allows
us to respond even faster to customers when they need support,”
said Brad White, senior vice president, Global Parts and
Distribution. “With more than 1,400 aircraft operating in the
region, we’re making this investment in direct response to customer
feedback and an increasing demand for parts availability
globally.”
