Jet Aviation Dusseldorf has been named an authorised service centre for the Raytheon Premier 1 aircraft, allowing the location to perform heavy and scheduled line and base maintenance, airframe maintenance and engine repair on the new business jet.

“The Premier 1 is one of the newest aircraft on the European market and several of our customers have already ordered the light-weight jet, said general manager Johannes Turzer of Jet Aviation’s German facilities. “We sent our technicians to Raytheon’s headquarters in Wichita for training on this aircraft so that we will be well prepared for the first deliveries of the Premier 1.”

The Premier 1 seats six to seven passengers and has a range of 1,554nm. Jet Aviation Dusseldorf has been a Raytheon Authorised Service Centre offering maintenance support to King Air 200 and 300 models, Beech 1900, Beech Barons and Bonanza aircraft for more than ten years.
