“Textron Aviation has been steadily investing in service options
for the Asia Pacific region to ensure customers flying all Textron
Aviation aircraft receive the exceptional support they expect,”
said Kriya Shortt, senior vice president of Global Customer Support

increased our regional footprint, capabilities and parts
availability. The Premiair team demonstrated their commitment to
quality, relationships and customer care as an ASF, and now we are
excited to welcome them to Textron Aviation.”
Premiair operates in strategic locations across Australia,
including Melbourne, Gold Coast (Coolangatta), and Western
Australia (Jandakot). The company’s footprint spans major markets
in Australia and will allow Textron Aviation customers in the
region close access to industry-leading aircraft maintenance and
support, including avionics services and upgrades, scheduled and
unscheduled maintenance, structural and component repair and
overhaul and refurbishment.
The acquisition of Premiair follows other Textron Aviation
investments in APAC, including a service and parts room expansion
at the Singapore Service Center, an increase in the number of
regional field service representatives, the opening of a new parts
warehouse in Australia, and the establishment of a new service
location in Manila. The company also continued to invest in mobile
service units (MSUs) and grew the specially outfitted fleet of
