Textron Aviation opened a service facility at Essendon Fields Airport (YMEN) in Melbourne, Australia, more than doubling its previous footprint in the city. According to the Wichita-based OEM, the 35,000-sq-ft complex will support more than 1,400 Cessna, Beechcraft, and Hawker aircraft operating across the Asia-Pacific region.
“We’ve supported customers in Australia for decades, and we continue to invest where our customers tell us they need more capacity and faster access to factory direct expertise,” said Brian Rohloff, senior v-p of global customer support. “The Essendon Fields facility is a significant investment in a highly important region.”
Features include expanded service space, an onsite parts stockroom, and a customer lounge. The center complements recent expansions and upgrades in Perth, Australia.
Essendon Fields CEO Brendan Pihan said the investment “underscores Essendon Fields’ commitment to building Australia’s most capable and connected business aviation precinct.”
In other news, the company marked 55 years of operation at its Indianapolis Customer Service Center, which supports North American Beechcraft, Cessna, and Hawker customers across the U.S. Midwest.
