Textron Aviation is celebrating 30 years of aircraft maintenance and modifications at its Greensboro (North Carolina) Service Center, it announced today. The factory-owned location, which opened in 1993 at Piedmont Triad International Airport (GSO), commemorated the anniversary this month with a celebratory event for employees and longtime customers.

The facility  provides MRO services for current and legacy Textron Aviation aircraft. It is one of the busiest locations in Textron’s global network of 20 service centers, which offer maintenance services, avionics upgrades, equipment installations, interior refurbishments, exterior paint jobs, and other specialized work.

“During the past three decades, we have developed strong relationships with customers in Greensboro and throughout the southeastern region, and they count on our skilled team to provide factory-direct service and support to their aircraft,” said Jeff Dowden, who manages the service center. “They know they can trust us to support them wherever they are.”

Originally called the Cessna Citation Service Center, the facility has grown and expanded since its opening. In addition to Cessna Citations, the facility now provides support, maintenance, and modification services for all Beechcraft and Hawker models, as well as Cessna Caravans.
