Textron Aviation has expanded its service offerings with the rollout of a new standard repair process for main landing gear on Cessna Citation Excel, XLS, and XLS+ twinjets. Developed in collaboration with subsidiary Able Aerospace Services, the process allows for significant main landing gear repairs without a full replacement, providing a cost-effective option for customers.
“Our priority is delivering the best aviation experience for our customers, and having the option to repair main landing gear gives customers additional flexibility when servicing their aircraft,” said Textron Aviation senior v-p of customer support Brian Rohloff. “This investment in a new solution for Citation 560XL aircraft supports reducing operating costs and minimizing aircraft downtime so that we can keep our customers moving.”
The process is similar to the main landing gear repair capabilities launched in 2020 for Citation CJ-series aircraft. Besides offering greater efficiency for customers, the service also supports Textron Aviation’s efforts to reduce and reuse by allowing customers to repair parts and use exchanges and rentals.
