Aviation News – Textron Aviation this week held the grand opening of its expanded global parts distribution center in Wichita With an additional 180,000 sq ft of floor space and state-of-the-art package sorting facilities, Textron says it will be able to store more airplane parts and ship them to customers faster.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing centrally located in the United States, we can pretty much ship a part overnight and have it to a customer first thing in the morning as long as the order comes in before 6 p.m. the day before,\u201d Brad White, Textron Aviation\u2019s senior vice president of global parts distribution and programs, told reporters during a tour of the facility on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Also known as P43, the expanded facility now covers a total of 245,000 sq ft and stocks around 150,000 active part numbers for new and existing models of Cessna, Beechcraft, and Hawker aircraft. It ships the parts to more than 170 countries, and the company has satellite warehouses and operations around the world. Textron Aviation\u2019s aftermarket business accounts for more than 20% of the company\u2019s total revenues.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were running our warehouse out of potentially five different buildings here within Wichita, and we were able to consolidate all of that into one single footprint here,\u201d White said. \u201cThat was important for us not only for efficiency\u2026but it was a kind of a multifunctional facility strategy where we now can repurpose those other buildings for other needs that the company has,\u201d such as the new\u00a0hiring and learning center<\/a>\u00a0on its East Wichita campus, he added.<\/p>\n
