Textron Aviation launches PowerAdvantage for Beechcraft King Air and Cessna Caravan turboprops

Textron Aviation has expanded its PowerAdvantage engine support programme to Beechcraft King Air and Cessna Caravan turboprop platforms. Part of the company’s ProAdvantage suite of support programmes, PowerAdvantage offers owners and operators comprehensive PT6A engine coverage with predictable costs for both routine and most unscheduled engine maintenance events.

“ProAdvantage programmes are the leading support programmes in the industry and have been designed to provide customers lower, predictable ownership costs, while enhancing aircraft values through comprehensive factory-direct maintenance. Through PowerAdvantage, customers receive a cost-competitive support solution and are easily able to forecast costs related to engine maintenance,” said Brad Thress, Senior Vice President, Customer Service.

“The combination of PowerAdvantage, ProParts and ProTech creates a powerful support solution for our King Air and Caravan customers, further enhancing their ownership and operating experience.”

Customers enrolled in PowerAdvantage pay a competitive hourly rate per engine operating hour and receive coverage for line maintenance parts, scheduled and most unscheduled engine events, all parts and shop labour for hot section inspection (HSI) and overhaul, and can include coverage for life limited components and repairs by Textron Aviation’s industry leading mobile response teams. The programme also provides rental engines for overhauls and most unscheduled events.
