The factory-direct service options at Stuttgart Airport will deliver shorter downtime and increased flexibility to its customers.
9 October 2021: Textron Aviation has made additional investments in its European service network with the expansion of its Stuttgart line station facility becoming a satellite service centre. The factory-direct service options at Stuttgart Airport will deliver shorter downtime and increased flexibility to its customers with twice the amount of hangar space and the expert engineer team set to double in size. This added footprint and expertise at Stuttgart satellite station will now add service capabilities for the Beechcraft King Air series this fall, further enhancing its service offerings for more than 100 operators in Germany.
Phil Jones, vice president, European Service Centres said, “We have strategically enhanced our footprint and capabilities in Europe due to the growing demand for services to ensure access to factory-direct service and support to customers. This new service centre model allows us to provide additional factory-direct support and deliver expert care to our aircraft owners and operators, regardless of where they are in the world.”
As a satellite service centre, Stuttgart can provide the same scope of work as the factory-direct service centres but in a smaller capacity. In addition to Stuttgart, Textron Aviation continues to operate two additional line stations in Cannes and Geneva and five company-owned service centres located in Düsseldorf, Paris Le Bourget, Prague, Valencia, Zürich and Geneva.
Textron Aviation leads the European market with more than 1,800 jet and turboprop aircraft operating in the region. They have a team of more than 450 Textron Aviation employees in Europe providing customers local access to factory-direct expertise, as well as a parts distribution centre located in Düsseldorf with more than 40,000 parts available in the region to serve the European Cessna, Beechcraft and Hawker fleet.
