Textron Aviation relocates parts stockroom in Alaska — General Aviation News
Textron Aviation has relocated its parts stockroom in Alaska from Fairbanks to Anchorage.
The move, based on customer feedback, is intended “to improve the accessibility and efficiency of parts distribution in the region,” for Beechcraft, Cessna, and Hawker aircraft, company officials explained.
The stockroom is now located at the Anchorage facility of Northland Aviation, a Textron Aviation authorized service facility since 1986.
“Aviation in Alaska is essential to the transportation infrastructure. Many of our Alaskan customers rely on our products to access their homes, their communities, and run their businesses,” said Brad White, senior vice president, Global Parts and Distribution. “Logistically speaking, Anchorage is the central distribution hub for Alaska. Increasing parts availability and relocating inventory to Anchorage will enable faster delivery times of the critical parts customers need to get back in the air.”
The company’s parts stockroom in Anchorage is part of a global network of seven parts distribution centers and 17 stockrooms, company officials added

Strong winds destroy deer shelter at Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) – Strong winds in the Portage area on Monday destroyed a shelter building at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center that was used to house Sitka deer. The conservation center says 80 mph winds swept through Portage Valley.
The conservation center says no animals were injured, but they are quickly raising money to rebuild. Their goal is $30,000, and as of Thursday morning, they have already fundraised over $26,000.
Sales & Marketing Director Nicole Geils said, “The shelter was in their habitat. It was essential for providing them a safe Haven during harsh weather. It’s a really useful area for when we’re feeding and doing enrichment with the deer and it’s also a safe space for recovery after medical procedures when needed.”
Executive Director Sarah Howard described how she learned about the damage.
“We had a staff member that radioed, ‘The shelter’s gone!’ And a couple of us were at least able to make a little light of the situation. Like, did it go to Oz? And thankfully, it didn’t go too far, and the deer were okay,” Howard said.
The conservation center is still accepting donations through their website.
