The Plane In Spain...
Cessna will build its new European
Citation Service Center at Valencia Airport in Spain. After two
years of studies, research and negotiations with Aeropuertos
Españoles y Navegación Aérea (AENA),
Spain’s aviation administrative office, Cessna and AENA
signed a land grant contract for a location at the Valencia Airport
(LEVC), located within the cities of Manises and Quart de Poblet,
nine kilometers west of the city of Valencia.
“With over 1,000 Citations operating in Europe and more on
the way, the new facility in Spain will be an excellent
complementary location for our Paris service center, offering our
customers yet another option for service in an area we did not
serve before,” said Mark Paolucci, Cessna senior vice
president, Customer Service. “Valencia Airport site was
chosen because its location is convenient to destinations popular
with many of our European operators, there is limited maintenance
capability in the area and because we continue to see an increase
in the number of Citations being based in North Africa. In addition
we have had good cooperation with local authorities and there is an
available qualified workforce.”
The Valencia Citation Service Center will be similar in size and
capacity as the recently inaugurated Citation Service Center in
Mesa, Arizona, with approximately 5,800 m2 (62,400 ft2) of hangar
space and 3,500 m2 of office and administration spaces. Also, an
additional second floor of office space is planned.
Within the next six months, a Cessna and AENA team will begin
planning site development, with construction plans to be announced
in the future. The service center will provide around-the-clock
services as well as scheduled maintenance, and feature hydraulic
and battery shops, parts support and avionics modifications.
