Textron Aviation has relocated its parts stockroom in Alaska from Fairbanks to Anchorage. This move aims to enhance the accessibility and efficiency of aircraft parts distribution in the region. The decision, influenced by customer feedback, builds on Textron's previous investments to increase parts availability for Cessna, Beechcraft, and Hawker operators in Alaska. The new stockroom is located at Northland Aviation’s Anchorage facility, which has been a Textron Aviation-authorized service facility since 1986.
“Aviation in Alaska is essential to the transportation infrastructure,” stated Brad White, Textron Aviation's senior vice president for global parts and distribution. “Many of our Alaskan customers rely on our products to access their homes, their communities, and run their businesses. Logistically speaking, Anchorage is the central distribution hub for Alaska. Increasing parts availability and relocating inventory to Anchorage will enable faster delivery times of the critical parts customers need to get back in the air.”
Textron Aviation provides factory-direct support, maintenance, and modifications through its global network of service centers, mobile service units, and 24-hour AOG support for Beechcraft, Cessna, and Hawker customers. The company's Anchorage stockroom is part of a worldwide network comprising seven parts distribution centers and 17 stockrooms. Textron Aviation manages over 150,000 unique part numbers with a team of approximately 600 technical support professionals.
