NATA Recertification (Photo: Business Wire)
Beechcraft, Cessna and Hawker customers receive factory-direct
support, maintenance and modifications by Textron Aviation Inc., a
Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT) company, through its global network of
service and part centers, mobile service units and 24/7 1CALL AOG
support.
Four of Textron Aviation’s 20 company-owned service centers —
Singapore, Paris, Zurich and Indianapolis — recertified their Tier
1 status, going above and beyond NATA’s certification requirements
and implementing additional sustainable practices.
This includes phasing out single-use plastic items, installing
motion-sensor lighting and ensuring energy-efficient kitchen
appliances and plumbing fixtures. These locations have also
developed policies to reduce idling in ground support equipment.
For the first time this year, the company’s Valencia Service Center
achieved Tier 2 status.
“We continue to invest in our processes and facilities to
encourage sustainable solutions across the globe, because we
understand the importance of driving economic growth while
preserving our natural resources,” said Brian Rohloff, senior vice
president, Customer Support.
To achieve base-level certification, all facilities must
establish a baseline carbon footprint and work toward reducing
greenhouse gas emissions. They must also offer recycling programs,
implement paperless systems, install LED lighting and reduce the
use of plastic water bottles. The company is actively supporting
the development of sustainable propulsion solutions, such as
hydrogen electric and hybrid electric, and remains actively engaged
in sustainability initiatives within the aviation industry.
