Textron Aviation has expanded its sales relationship with Santiago, Chile-based Aviasur to include Cessna products, allowing the company to offer the complete Beechcraft and Cessna product lines to the Chilean market. The announcement was made today at FIDAE International Air and Space Fair at the Santiago International Airport, where Textron Aviation is displaying its new Citation Latitude and M2, as well as a Beechcraft King Air 350ER, Cessna Grand Caravan EX and T-6 Texan military trainer/attack aircraft.

“Aviasur has proven to be a strong partner for Textron Aviation,” said regional vice president of sales for Latin America and Caribbean Bob Gibbs. “Its reputation for providing excellent customer support will bring added value to our customers in the region.” Aviasur has supported Beechcraft products as an authorized sales representative for more than five years and as an authorized service facility since 2012.

Textron Aviation claims to lead the Latin America jet market with more than 800 Citations based in the region. Sister company Bell Helicopter is also displaying a 505 Jet Ranger X, 407GXP and 429 at FIDAE.
