Textron Aviation has paused all new production of the Beechcraft Bonanza G36 and Baron G58 as it evaluates the future of both piston aircraft lines. According to the company, the halt allows Textron to assess long-term demand, supply chain conditions, and anticipated modernization needs. No end-of-life declaration has been made, and Textron emphasized that it will continue supporting the existing fleet, including parts availability and engineering services. The pause applies only to new manufacturing, and previously delivered aircraft are unaffected. Textron has not given a timeline for when a decision about the long-term direction of the Bonanza and Baron programs will be announced.
