Textron launches ProParts+ for Citation 525 series
The support programme expands coverage for high-cost components and consumables, building on the existing ProParts offering.
ProParts+ is now open for enrolment.

Textron Aviation has launched ProParts+, a new addition to its ProAdvantage support programmes. Designed specifically for Cessna Citation 525 series operators and building on the existing ProParts offering, the programme expands coverage to address customer-identified priorities and improve operational predictability.

“Expanding our ProAdvantage portfolio with ProParts+ reflects our continued investment in the long-term support of the Citation 525 series,” says Brad White, senior vice president, global parts distribution. “ProParts+ is a direct response to customer feedback. We’ve designed this programme to provide greater peace of mind and value by covering high-cost components and consumables that matter most to our operators.”

ProParts+ introduces several new benefits for the 525 series, including enhanced landing gear coverage from trunnion down, encompassing corrosion protection and both serialised and non-serialised components typically excluded from the standard ProParts programme. Covered items include trunnions, trailing links, axles, oleos, shimmy dampeners, wheels, actuators, hydraulic lines, wire bundles and hardware located in the nose and main wheel wells.

The programme also includes coverage for consumables such as corrosion inhibiting compounds and fuel test kits, along with standard freight for covered parts. A contract buy-out option is available for early terminations due to aircraft sale.

Textron Aviation’s original ProParts programme is a fixed-cost initiative that simplifies maintenance planning by covering airframe systems and avionics parts required for line, scheduled and unscheduled maintenance. With predictable monthly payments based on reported flight hours, operators benefit from consistent expense management and access to OEM original or authorised parts.

ProParts+ is now open for enrolment and will be offered alongside the existing ProParts programme.
