Textron Aviation's new mobile service location at Madrid-Barajas airport is an extension of its factory service centre in Valencia. The Madrid location will initially support in-region customers who own Cessna Citation jets and Caravan turboprops, and will offer additional flexibility to customers and complement the company's aircraft on ground (AOG) response.

The mobile service location can conduct minor service tasks including troubleshooting and AOG support at any given time. Textron Aviation is also increasing its team support in Madrid with the addition of two technicians and one office administrator. The company has more than 450 Textron Aviation employees in Europe providing customers local access to factory-direct expertise.

Textron Aviation expanded its footprint in Germany last autumn with the upgrade of its Stuttgart facility to a satellite service centre.
