Textron to Open New Facility in Australia & Provide Aircraft Service
Read MoreHide Full Article
Textron Inc. (TXT - Free Report) recently announced that its unit Textron Aviation would expand its presence in Australia by building a larger and more modern service facility at Essendon Fields Airport in Melbourne to better support Cessna, Beechcraft and Hawker customers in the region.
Textron Aviation anticipates its facility to be fully operational by early 2026, with construction scheduled to start in March 2025.
At more than 35,000 square feet, the new facility will more than double the size of the company's existing one. The new facility will be in a more central location within the airport, allowing for speedier shipment for customers and a more comfortable lounge for customers to use while their aircraft is serviced. To keep customers flying, the new facility will provide additional space for aircraft maintenance, enabling quicker scheduling with less downtime.
The company's dedication to offering its clients the best possible combination of factory-direct maintenance and service solutions is demonstrated by the fact that this new facility will support more than 1,400 aircraft operating in the APAC region.
TXT’s Growth Potential in Business Aviation
Steadily growing global air travel, gradually improving economic conditions and an increasing number of high-net-worth personnel are anticipated to propel the long-term growth of the business jet sector.
The Morder Intelligence firm expects the Asia-Pacific Business Jet market to witness a CAGR of 6.7% during the 2025-2030 period.
Such growth prospects should benefit Textron, with its Textron Aviation segment being one of the prominent business jet makers like Cessna and Beechcraft. It is dedicated to developing and offering the greatest aviation experience for its consumers. With more than 20 servicing facilities across the globe, the company's diverse portfolio of aircraft solutions accounts for more than half of all general aviation flights.
