Textron Aviation Shifts Alaska Parts Stockroom From Fairbanks To Anchorage For Better Distribution

Published on July 9, 2024

Textron Aviation has announced the relocation of its parts stockroom in Alaska from Fairbanks to Anchorage, aiming to enhance accessibility and efficiency in parts distribution across the region. This decision, driven by customer feedback, builds upon previous efforts to expand parts availability in Alaska, particularly benefiting users of Cessna and Beechcraft aircraft, including the new twin-engine Cessna SkyCourier turboprop. The stockroom now operates out of Northland Aviation’s Anchorage facility, an authorized service provider for Textron Aviation since 1986.

Textron Aviation Inc., a subsidiary of Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT), continues to provide Beechcraft, Cessna, and Hawker customers with factory-direct support, maintenance, and modifications through its extensive global network of service centers, parts facilities, mobile service units, and round-the-clock 1CALL AOG (aircraft-on-ground) support.

“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,” said 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 remains dedicated to serving the Alaskan community by providing essential parts support for operators in the region. Anchored in a global network, the company’s stockroom in Anchorage is one of seven distribution centers worldwide, complemented by 17 stockrooms. With a vast inventory encompassing over 150,000 unique part numbers and a committed team of over 600 professionals, Textron Aviation stands ready to meet the diverse parts requirements of its customers globally.

Across the globe, Textron Aviation pledges unwavering support throughout the entire lifecycle of their aircraft, ensuring customers receive the assistance they need no matter where they operate.
