Premiair Aviation Maintenance has received an expanded authorized service facility appointment from Textron Aviation to include the Wichita-based airframer’s full product line at more Premiair service locations in Australia. That product line includes Cessna Citations, Caravans, and pistons; Beechcraft King Airs and pistons; and Hawkers.

“Textron Aviation has long been a part of the vibrant Australian aviation community and this appointment helps ensure our customers have easy access to expert, factory-authorized service for any requirement,” said Textron Aviation senior v-p of customer service Kriya Shortt. “In addition to its reputation for superb maintenance repair and overhaul skills, Premiair Aviation’s foundation of customer care and service fits well with the culture and values espoused by Textron Aviation.”

Founded in Perth in 2002, Premiair has since expanded to include service locations in Melbourne and Gold Coast. The appointment allows Premiair to provide Textron Aviation customers from those sites aircraft maintenance and support, including avionics services and upgrades, scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, structural and component repair and overhaul, and refurbishment.

“With an installed base of more than 1,000 jets and turboprops across the region, we are excited to expand Premiair’s authorizations to ensure customers flying all Textron Aviation aircraft receive the exceptional support they expect throughout their aircraft ownership experience,” Shortt added.
