Textron Aviation Three-Pronged European Push: Düsseldorf Parts Centre +50%, Luminair 9–10 Latitudes, Citation Ascend European Debut — but Germany Latitude Movements Down 13% YoY

Textron Aviation Q1 revenue +22% YoY, launching dense offensive in Europe: Düsseldorf parts distribution centre +50% expansion (+1,000 sqm), Citation Ascend first transatlantic European tour and Aero Friedrichshafen debut, Germany's Luminair ordered 9–10 Citation Latitudes (targeting mid-2027 23-aircraft fleet), France's SD Aviation ordered 2 M2 Gen3s + 1 CJ3 Gen2 for fractional ownership. However AviGo data shows Citation Latitude January–May 2026 Germany movements at 491 vs. 567 in 2025 (−13.4%); active registrations fell from 35 to 33; per-aircraft utilization fell from 16.2 to 14.9 (−8.1%). New orders haven't yet translated to operating increment — delivery-to-operations time lag exists. Confidence ★★: KG multi-order events + AviGo Germany data cross-verification.
