Textron Aviation Stocking Aircraft Parts in Alaska

Textron Aviation, in cooperation with Northland Aviation Services, has established a parts stockroom in Fairbanks, Alaska, in support of Beechcraft and Cessna models, including the new Cessna SkyCourier. The company said it will continue to monitor parts ordered and shipped from this stockroom and increase inventory as needed.

Adding this stockroom "will offer customers in the area even faster delivery on critical parts they need to get back in the air,” said Kriya Shortt, Textron Aviation senior v-p of global parts and distribution.

Northland was established in 1986 as a repair station for single-engine aircraft, including those employed by Part 135 operators and various government agencies. It became a Cessna single-engine service station in 2001, allowing it to access factory training and provide Cessna parts in Alaska. It became a Cessna Caravan service station in 2010 and an authorized sales representative for all Cessna propeller aircraft in 2012.
