Textron plans to expand its relationship with longtime channel partner Wallan Aviation by granting it approval as an authorised service facility for Beechcraft King Air turboprops.

"Wallan Group has a proven track record of providing quality maintenance and excellent service to our Cessna Citation customers," says vice president, special mission sales Bob Gibbs. "With an established and growing base of King Air aircraft in the Kingdom, this latest authorisation provides an even greater level of convenience and in-country support."

Based in Riyadh, Wallan Aviation has served as an authorised service facility for Cessna Citation jets since 2008. With Textron Aviation's focused sales and support efforts in the Kingdom, the company looks forward to its continuing relationship with the Wallan Group and support of customers there.
