WICHITA, Kan. (July 30,2024) – Textron Aviation today announced the expansion of its service offerings to include a new standard repair process for Cessna Citation 560XL series aircraft main landing gear (MLG). The new solution, developed in collaboration with the company’s affiliate, Able Aerospace Services, allows for significant MLG repairs without a full replacement – providing an additional timely and cost-effective part option for customers.

Textron Aviation initially announced MLG repair capabilities on the Cessna Citation CJ series aircraft in 2020. In addition to offering greater efficiency for customers, the new service supports Textron Aviation’s efforts to reduce and reuse by allowing customers to repair parts and utilize exchanges and rentals.
