Textron Aviation Increases Service Footprint in Spain, Adds Mobile Service Location in Madrid

Capitalizing on its continued growth in Europe, Textron Aviation has opened a new mobile service location in Madrid, Spain. The Madrid-Barajas Airport location will act as an extension of its factory service center in Valencia, to initially support in-region customers who own Cessna Citation jets and Caravan turboprops. This new location will offer additional flexibility to customers and complement the company’s Aircraft on Ground (AOG) response.

The mobile service location can conduct minor service tasks including troubleshooting and AOG support at any given time. With this expansion, Textron Aviation is increasing its team support in Madrid with the addition of two technicians and one office administrator. The company has more than 450 Textron Aviation employees in Europe providing customers local access to factory-direct expertise.

Textron Aviation leads the European market with nearly 1,800 jet and turboprop aircraft operating in the region. Textron Aviation Inc., a Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT) company, expanded its footprint in Germany last fall at its Stuttgart facility, now a satellite service center.
