Textron Aviation has expanded its ProAdvantage aircraft support program to include Cessna CitationJets and CJs with the addition of a newly enhanced fixed-cost parts plan. ProParts+ “simplifies maintenance planning by covering airframe systems and avionics parts required for line, scheduled, and unscheduled maintenance.” Based on reported flight hours, a predictable monthly payment plan helps operators manage expenses.
While the company’s original ProParts option will still be offered, ProParts+ builds on it with the addition of landing gear coverage, including corrosion protection, and consumables such as fuel test kits and some corrosion-inhibiting compounds. It also includes standard freight costs for parts covered under the plan and an early buy-out option to terminate contracts in case of a change in aircraft ownership.
“Expanding our ProAdvantage portfolio with ProParts+ reflects our continued investment in the long-term support of the Citation 525 Series,” said Brad White, the Wichita-based airframer’s senior v-p for global parts distribution, adding that the augmented program is a direct response to customer feedback. “We’ve designed this program to provide greater peace of mind and value by covering high-cost components and consumables that matter most to our operators.”
