Textron Aviation announced it has received Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) Part 145 approval for its Australian maintenance organization, reinforcing the company’s commitment to providing factory-direct service and support throughout the Asia-Pacific region. The approval applies across Textron Aviation’s Service Center network in Melbourne, Perth and the Gold Coast, establishing one of the most comprehensive OEM-owned support footprints in Australia.
Part 145 approval recognizes that Textron Aviation’s maintenance organization has the systems, personnel, processes and oversight required to perform and certify aircraft maintenance in accordance with Australia’s rigorous aviation standards.
The approval provides customers with confidence that maintenance is performed within a CASA-approved system while supporting consistent quality, compliance and technical expertise across all three company-owned Service Centers strategically located across Australia.
With more than 1,400 Cessna, Beechcraft and Hawker aircraft operating in Australia, the approval further strengthens Textron Aviation’s ability to support customers through local expertise backed by the resources of one of the industry’s largest service networks, providing access to CASA-approved maintenance, modifications, overhaul services and aircraft-on-ground support closer to where they operate, helping reduce downtime and keep aircraft flying.
