These include Cessna Citation, Cessna Caravan, Beechcraft King Air, Cessna and Beechcraft piston and Hawker aircraft, at a number of Premiair's facilities across Australia.

Textron Aviation has long been a part of the vibrant Australian aviation community and this appointment helps ensure our customers have easy access to expert, factory authorised service for any requirement,” says senior vice president, customer service Kriya Shortt. “In addition to its stellar reputation for superb maintenance repair and overhaul skills, Premiair Aviation's foundation of excellent customer care and service fits well with the culture and values espoused by Textron Aviation.”

Premiair's footprint spans major markets in Australia and will allow Textron Aviation customers close access to industry-leading aircraft maintenance and support, including avionics services and upgrades, scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, structural and component repair and overhaul, and refurbishment.

Textron Aviation's strong pace of investment across the Asia Pacific region demonstrates our commitment to providing customers the strongest combination of factory-direct maintenance and service solutions available,” adds Shortt. “With an installed base of more than 1,000 jets and turboprops across the region, we are excited to expand Premiair's authorisations to ensure customers flying all Textron Aviation aircraft receive the exceptional support they expect throughout their aircraft ownership experience.”
