Textron Aviation's Mesa service centre is celebrating 15 years of proudly serving Cessna, Beechcraft and Hawker customers in Arizona and beyond. Situated at Phoenix Gateway Airport, the service centre offers a full range of quality services including maintenance, modifications and interior upgrades to customers in the southwestern region.
“We are incredibly proud of what our team has accomplished in Mesa,” said Michael Merlie, general manager, Textron Aviation Mesa service centre. “Customers can rely on excellent and timely services and expert maintenance and modification work from our team at the Mesa service centre, and we look forward to supporting them for years to come.”
The creation of the 65,000 square-foot service facility started with employees from several different Textron Aviation service facilities around the United States, coming together 15 years ago to form the Mesa service centre in the Valley of the Sun. More than 65 percent of the facility's original workforce relocated from what was formerly known as the Cessna Long Beach service centre in California. The Mesa service centre supports five mobile service unit (MSU) locations and is backed by a dedicated team of experts that provide services to southern California, Las Vegas and Salt Lake City.
Mesa continues to be a hub for general and business aviation, with multiple A&P schools and flight schools. Many original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), including Textron Aviation, strategically operate in the area because of this, as well as its year-round sunny weather.
Textron Aviation has a strong and robust customer support system throughout North America. The company operates a total of 11 domestic service centres and more than 30 domestic mobile service units, with expert service engineers offering maintenance, inspections, parts, repairs, avionic upgrades, equipment installations, refurbishments and other specialised services.
