In addition to expanding the company’s helicopter engine service network in the region, appointment of the facility will help provide cost-effective, customised solutions to increase aircraft availability.

“Our new DMF is a testament to our commitment to providing exceptional service to our South American helicopter operators.”

Once in service, Helipark Manutenção Aeronáutica will provide the country with line maintenance support in addition to mobile repair team (MRT) field services.

Last year, P&WC appointed RICO Taxi Aereo and ABA Manutenção de Aeronaves as DMFs to support PT6A customers in Brazil.

Kumarasingam added: “We have built a global footprint and frontline that is second to none. It is this worldwide network that enables us to deliver solutions with the ultimate goal of driving aircraft availability to ensure our operators are always mission-ready.
