Textron Aviation has announced the grand opening of its largest parts distribution facility at its headquarters in Wichita, Kansas. With the incorporation of an additional 180,000 square feet of space, this cutting-edge facility is now more adept at catering to the company’s global customer base, offering enhanced parts storage capabilities and expedited shipping services.

With thousands of Cessna, Beechcraft, and Hawker aircraft in operation globally, Textron Aviation acknowledges the significance of maintaining readily accessible parts to ensure customers can continue flying. The facility’s expanded footprint enables greater investment in parts inventory, ensuring availability for both new and existing models. Additionally, the expansion seeks to enhance the overall customer experience by introducing a new, dedicated lane for customers to conveniently drop off or collect parts in person.

“Adding 180,000 square feet to our headquarter facility provides expedited support to our customers around the globe and continues our investment in parts inventory,” comments Brad White, Senior Vice President, Global Parts and Distribution. “The expansion of our parts distribution operations is a testament to Textron Aviation’s commitment to designing and delivering the best aviation experience for customers.”
