Textron Aviation opened a Melbourne service facility at Essendon Fields airport, expanding support for Cessna, Beechcraft, and Hawker customers in APAC.

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.”
