Textron Aviation Paris Service Centre

The Textron Aviation Paris Service Centre is the Textron Aviation maintenance facility at Paris Le Bourget airport in France. It works on Textron Aviation jet and turboprop aircraft, including Citation, King Air and Hawker 125 series aircraft. The centre opened in 1997, when the Citation X arrived in Europe.

Le Bourget exclusively serves business aircraft, which means less traffic for customers. Charles de Gaulle Airport is a short distance away for commercial and international flights. The centre also runs a mobile service unit from Cannes for customers in the south of France.

The engineering team covers structural design, propulsion, hydraulics, electrical systems and other onboard systems. It uses non destructive testing and modern tools to save time and money.

The centre also provides sheet metal work, paint, interior refurbishing and avionics modifications. Paint services include registration changes, touch ups, polishing and custom paint schemes. The website says a fresh coat of paint helps protect the aircraft and can increase resale value.

In Europe the centre keeps more than 35,000 OEM and aftermarket part numbers in stock. The FedEx distribution hub at Charles de Gaulle Airport is less than 15 minutes away and receives Textron Aviation parts from the United States each day.

The ProCAMO program helps operators of complex aircraft meet EASA rules that require a Continuing Airworthiness Management Organisation. The centre says it helps keep aircraft airworthy across Europe and overseas. AOG support runs from Paris, and concierge services are also available.

The centre is open Monday to Friday from 7:00 am to 10:00 pm and on Saturday and Sunday from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm. For questions or a fast turnaround quote, customers can use the service form on the website.
