Textron Aviation has opened its larger service centre at Paris Le Bourget airport, which boasts complete maintenance and repair capability for Citation business jets and Beechcraft King Air turboprops.

“The new facility is three times larger than the original and offers faster service, easier facility access, and first-class customer areas,” says senior vp of customer service Brad Thress.

“With the combination of Beechcraft, Cessna and Hawker under Textron Aviation, and with the increased business aviation activity in Paris, we wanted a larger and more robust centre there to match the other facilities across Europe. The feedback from customers has been very positive.”
