Bell Helicopter’s service facility at Prague Ruzyne International
Airport is the site of sister Textron company Cessna Aircraft’s newest
Citation service facility. The EASA-approved Cessna operation shares the
32,000-sq-ft facility and has already begun offering scheduled and
unscheduled maintenance and warranty work. Cessna staffs and manages the
facility.
Stan Younger, V.P. of service facilities, told AIN Cessna plans to expand its capabilities to include base maintenance.
Cessna is also assembling a second mobile service unit (MSU) for
deployment in central Europe to complement the new service center. The
first Citation MSU, owned by Cessna’s Paris Citation service center, was
recently positioned in Lyon, France, and covers the south of France,
Switzerland, northern Italy and northern Spain.
“The MSU is a heavy-duty truck equipped with tooling to perform
unplanned and light planned maintenance, including a hoist for engine
changes. It also has a full complement of avionics diagnostic equipment
on board,” Younger said. “Currently the MSU is staffed with technicians
from the Paris facility.”
Cessna also recently began construction of a new service center in
Valencia, Spain, scheduled to begin operations next year. Cessna opened
its first European service center in Paris in 1997.
