Textron Aviation has relocated its parts stockroom in Alaska from Fairbanks to Anchorage to improve the accessibility and efficiency of parts distribution in the region. Based on customer feedback, the move builds on the company's previous investment of increased parts availability in Alaska to better support customers that utilise Cessna and Beechcraft aircraft, including the new twin-engine Cessna SkyCourier turboprop aircraft.

The stockroom is now located at the Anchorage facility of Northland Aviation, a Textron Aviation authorised service facility that has been supporting customers since 1986.

“Aviation in Alaska is essential to the transportation infrastructure. Many of our Alaskan customers rely on our products to access their homes, their communities and run their businesses,” says Brad White, senior vice president, global parts and distribution. “Logistically speaking, Anchorage is the central distribution hub for Alaska. Increasing parts availability and relocating inventory to Anchorage will enable faster delivery times of the critical parts customers need to get back in the air.”

Textron Aviation is committed to the Alaskan community, ensuring support for the right parts in the region for operators. The company's parts stockroom in Anchorage is part of a global network of seven parts distribution centres and 17 stockrooms with over 150,000 unique part numbers and a dedicated team of more than 600 professionals.
