Textron Aviation Inc., a Textron Inc. (NYSE:TXT) company, opens the 2015 Asian Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (ABACE) poised for growth as the Chinese business aircraft and flight training industries continue to advance. The company’s Beechcraft and Cessna product ranges of piston, business and utility turboprop, and light and mid-size turbine aircraft align with the development of these industries and provide comprehensive air transportation solutions.

“As the Chinese aviation industry recognizes the efficiencies of aligning the right aircraft for the mission scope, business aircraft fleet growth is expanding into the light and mid-size jet categories, as well as the utilitarian turboprop category where Textron Aviation specializes,” said Bill Schultz, senior vice president, Business Development, China. “As airspace limitations are relaxed, Textron Aviation is ready to equip future pilots with industry-leading flight training aircraft such as the Cessna Skyhawk 172 and Beechcraft King Air C90GTx. The extensive Textron Aviation product mix, combined with our philosophy of building a localized, company-direct presence in China, demonstrates our commitment to providing complete life-cycle support for our customers as they grow into new segments of general aviation.”

Textron Aviation has delivered a fleet of more than 50 business jets and more than 80 turboprops, including the 29 aircraft in China in 2014. To support these aircraft, the company offers 16 product support centers for its customers in China and throughout the region.  

This week at ABACE, Textron Aviation is featuring many of its popular regional products, including the Cessna Citation XLS+ and the Cessna Grand Caravan – both now delivered to customers in China through joint ventures with China Aviation Industry General Aircraft Company Ltd. (CAIGA). In addition, the company is exhibiting a Beechcraft Bonanza G36, Beechcraft King Air C90Tx and Beechcraft King Air 350i. Textron Aviation is joined at its display at Shanghai Hongqiao Airport by corporate sister companies Bell Helicopter and TRU Simulation.
