Nearly 11 months after expanding Premiair Aviation Maintenance’s authorized service, Textron Aviation has acquired the Australia-based MRO’s three locations in a bid to boost its service offerings in the Asia-Pacific region, the Wichita airframer announced yesterday. “Throughout the past year, we substantially increased our regional footprint, capabilities and parts availability,” said Textron Aviation senior v-p of global customer support Kriya Shortt. “The Premiair team demonstrated their commitment to quality, relationships and customer care as an ASF, and now we are excited to welcome them to Textron Aviation.”
