Textron Aviation Expands ProAdvantage Portfolio With Launch of ProParts+ for Cessna Citation 525 Series

WICHITA, Kan.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Textron Aviation Inc., a Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT) company, today announced the launch of ProParts+, a new addition to the company’s industry-leading ProAdvantage support programs, designed specifically for Cessna Citation 525 series operators. ProParts+ builds on the trusted foundation of the ProParts program, offering expanded coverage to address key customer identified priorities and enhance operational predictability.

“Expanding our ProAdvantage portfolio with ProParts+ reflects our continued investment in the long-term support of the Citation 525 Series,” said Brad White, senior vice president, Global Parts Distribution. “ProParts+ is a direct response to customer feedback. We’ve designed this program to provide greater peace of mind and value by covering high-cost components and consumables that matter most to our operators.”

ProParts+ introduces several new benefits for the 525 series, including:

• Landing Gear Coverage – Enhanced coverage from trunnion down, including certain corrosion protection and serialized and non-serialized components typically excluded from ProParts coverage. This can include trunnions, trailing links, axles, oleos, shimmy dampeners, wheels, actuators, hydraulic lines, wire bundles and hardware found in the nose and main wheel wells
• Consumables – Coverage for items such as certain corrosion inhibiting compounds (CICs) and fuel test kits
• Standard Freight Coverage – Included for covered parts
• Contract Buy-Out Option – Available for early terminations due to aircraft sale

Textron Aviation’s ProParts program is a fixed-cost ProAdvantage initiative that simplifies maintenance planning by covering airframe systems and avionics parts required for line, scheduled and unscheduled maintenance. With predictable monthly payments based on reported flight hours, ProParts helps operators manage expenses consistently while benefiting from OEM original or authorized parts.

ProParts+ is now available for enrollment and will be offered alongside the existing ProParts program. Customers can visit the ProAdvantage website for more information.
