Atlas Air Service AG has been appointed as an Authorized Sales Representative for Special Mission Aircraft by Textron Aviation Inc.
Textron Aviation Inc. is one of the world’s leading business aircraft manufacturers and is renowned for its Beechcraft King Air, Cessna Citation, and Cessna Caravan models.
Renowned for their robust, flexible and economical characteristics, these models are the ideal basis for sophisticated special mission aircraft (SMA).
Thanks to its decades of technical expertise in maintaining Beechcraft and Cessna aircraft, and its extensive experience in special mission conversions, Atlas is the perfect partner for Textron Aviation.
Conversions for these aircraft types can now also be carried out at the Bremen Servicecenter, enabling tailor-made solutions for a wide range of special applications.
Special mission aircraft are used for airborne intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR), maritime patrols, border control, search and rescue (SAR), flight inspections, air ambulance services, atmospheric research, aerial surveys, training and government flights.
In addition to converting aircraft for the aforementioned areas of application, Atlas Air Service is authorized to integrate complex Textron Aviation manufacturer kit installations such as Extended Nose, Drop Hatch or Extended Range (ER) at its Bremen location.
As an Authorized Sales Representative for Special Mission Aircraft, Atlas Air Service is also authorized to sell these customized special mission aircraft.
Nicolas von Mende, CEO of Atlas Air Service AG says: “We are proud to be part of the Textron Aviation network for the conversion and sale of aircraft used for special missions.
“This strategic cooperation underscores our long-standing expertise in business aircraft and special mission conversions and opens up new opportunities for strategic business development.”
Gregor Bremer, COO of Atlas Air Service AG adds: “Together with Textron Aviation, we offer our customers individually configurable solutions at the highest technical level, and we are now authorized to oversee projects from conversion in our own hangars through to the sale and delivery of the aircraft. We can also retrofit factory-offered modifications in Germany”.
