C&L Aerospace has opened an 8,500sq ft parts warehouse in Wichita, Kansas where it will store avionics and parts inventories for Citation XLS, Citation Sovereign, BeechJet, Hawker, Challenger ERJ 135/145 and E170/190 aircraft.

"The new warehouse is strategically located, allowing us to better support our customers in the Midwest and West Coast," says CEO Chris Kilgour. "Inventories kept here are critical rotables and components needed on a short-term notice. It will also allow for more favourable shipping times and rates for our customers on the west side of the country."

This move is part of a larger expansion plan by the company designed to get aircraft parts closer to their worldwide customer base. C&L also plans to open two additional warehouse facilities around the globe this spring.
