Textron Aviation is marking the 10th anniversary this month of two of its key facilities in its European product support network. The U.S. manufacturer’s service centers at Zurich Airport in Switzerland and Germany’s Düsseldorf International Airport both opened in 2013 when they were acquired from Jet Aviation.

These facilities provide factory-direct support for operators of Beechcraft, Cessna, and Hawker aircraft, including all maintenance and modification services offered by Textron Aviation. Over the past decade, the company has expanded its support network in Europe to five service centers, including Paris; Prague, Czech Republic; and Valencia, Spain; as well as line stations/mobile service units in the south of France, Geneva, and Madrid. The network also includes a satellite service center in Stuttgart, Germany.

Over the past 12 months, Textron added the Madrid facility and strengthened its regional customer support capability with more localized 1Call and warranty teams. The company also expanded its parts distribution center in Düsseldorf by 4,000 cu ft.

“We are committed to supporting our customers throughout their entire ownership journey,” commented Christof Kandel, general manager of the Düsseldorf service center. “Whether it's scheduled maintenance, upgrades, or unexpected repairs, our team of experienced aviation technicians has our customers covered.”

Print Body

Textron Aviation last month marked the 10th anniversary of two of its key facilities in its European product support network. The U.S. manufacturer’s service centers at Zurich Airport in Switzerland and Germany’s Düsseldorf International Airport both opened in 2013 when they were acquired from Jet Aviation.


These facilities provide factory-direct support for operators of Beechcraft, Cessna, and Hawker aircraft, including all maintenance and modification services offered by Textron Aviation (Booth T26). Over the past decade, the company has expanded its support network in Europe to six service centers, including Paris; Prague, Czech Republic; Valencia, Spain; and Stuttgart, Germany, as well as line stations/mobile service units in the south of France, Geneva, and Madrid. 


Over the past 12 months, Textron added the Madrid facility and strengthened its regional customer support capability with more localized 1Call and warranty teams. The company also expanded its parts distribution center in Düsseldorf by 4,000 cu ft.


“We are committed to supporting our customers throughout their entire ownership journey,” commented Christof Kandel, general manager of the Düsseldorf service center. “Whether it's scheduled maintenance, upgrades, or unexpected repairs, our team of experienced aviation technicians has our customers covered.”
