Move Enhances Parts Accessibility and Distribution Efficiency

Textron Aviation announced it has relocated its Alaska parts stockroom from Fairbanks to Anchorage. Based on customer feedback the determination was made that the move would improve the accessibility and efficiency of parts distribution in the region.

Customers who utilize Cessna and Beechcraft airplanes also previously convinced the company to invest in increasing the availability of parts, including those for the new Cessna twin turboprop SkyCourier.

The stockroom is now located at Northland Aviation’s Anchorage base, which has supported customers since 1986 as a Textron Aviation Authorized Service Facility. Such Service Facilities provide factory-direct support, maintenance, and mods by Textron Aviation for owners and operators flying Cessna, Beechcraft, and Hawker aircraft. The Anchorage stockroom is one of seven parts distribution centers and 17 stockrooms globally to ensure availability and support for the right parts in the region for the aviation community in Alaska.

Brad White, Textron’s Senior Vice President of Global Parts and Distribution said, “Aviation in Alaska is essential to the transportation infrastructure. Many of our Alaskan customers rely on our products to access their homes, their communities, and run their businesses. Logistically speaking, Anchorage is the central distribution hub for Alaska. Increasing parts availability and relocating inventory to Anchorage will enable faster delivery times of the critical parts customers need to get back in the air.”
