Textron Aviation has announced the relocation of its parts stockroom in Alaska from Fairbanks to Anchorage, a move made to improve the accessibility and efficiency of parts distribution in the region.
The company said that based on customer feedback, this move builds on its previous investment of increased parts availability in Alaska to better support customers who utilise Cessna and Beechcraft aircraft, including the new twin-engine Cessna SkyCourier turboprop aircraft. The stockroom is located at the Northland Aviation’s Anchorage facility, a Textron Aviation authorised service facility that has been supporting customers since 1986.
Beechcraft, Cessna and Hawker customers receive factory-direct support, maintenance and modifications by Textron Aviation through its global network of service and parts centres, mobile service units and 24/7 1CALL AOG support.
“Aviation in Alaska is essential to the transportation infrastructure,” said Brad White, SVP, global parts and distribution. “Many of our Alaskan customers rely on our products to access their homes, their communities, and run their businesses. Logistically speaking, Anchorage is the central distribution hub for Alaska. Increasing parts availability and relocating inventory to Anchorage will enable faster delivery times of the critical parts customers need to get back in the air.”
Textron Aviation’s parts stockroom in Anchorage is part of a global network of seven parts distribution centres and 17 stockrooms.
