VALUE KA ADDED New Benefits from Textron Aviation
for King Air Owners/Operators
Textron Aviation has announced two new advantages from their combined companies for King Airs. Two new services centers in the East are now FAA-certified to work on King Airs, and the Citation Jet Pilots association has extended a free six-month trial membership to all Textron turbine operators which includes King Airs.
The company-owned service centers which have expanded their certifications to incorporate servicing Beechcraft King Air 90-, 200- and 300-series aircraft are located in Greensboro, North Carolina and Newburgh, New York. The company says that these latest certifications represent progress in their global strategy to service all of its brands at each company- owned service facility. Of the 21 Textron Aviation-owned service centers, 11 have received expanded certifications over the last year to service additional Textron Aviation products. The company expects all of these facilities will have expanded capabilities by year end.
The Citation Jet Pilots association is a member organization of more than 300 aircraft owners. The free six-month trial membership includes participation in the FuelAdvantage program for all Textron Aviation turbine
owners based in the United States. This fuel program provides competitive Jet-A fuel pricing at exclusive partner fixed-base operations at hundreds of airports.
