Bangor, Maine-based C&L Aerospace has opened an 8,500-sq-ft parts warehouse in Wichita, giving it space to store avionics and parts inventories for Cessna Citation XLS, Citation Sovereign, BeechJet, Hawker, Bombardier Challenger, and Embraer ERJ 135/145 and E170/190 aircraft.
The move announced this week constitutes part of a larger expansion plan to position aircraft parts closer to their worldwide customer base. C&L also plans to open two additional warehouse facilities around the globe this spring.
“The new warehouse is strategically located, allowing us to better support our customers in the Midwest and West Coast,” Chris Kilgour, CEO of C&L Aviation Group. “Inventories kept here are critical rotables and components needed on a short-term notice. It will also allow for more favorable shipping times and rates for our customers on the west side of the country.”
C&L Aviation Group maintains and supports operators in the corporate and regional aviation industry. Along with aircraft and engine sales and leasing programs, C&L offers parts support, heavy maintenance, interior refurbishment, aircraft teardown, disassembly services, and aircraft management. The company maintains offices in the U.S., Australia, Africa, Europe, Singapore, and Latin America.
