“Sikorsky Helitech has provided great support for our customers since becoming a Sikorsky company in 2003,” said Peter Grant, Director of Aftermarket Operations for Sikorsky Commercial Systems & Services. “By recognizing Helitech as the first Sikorsky-authorized S-92 Customer Support Center, they have further validated and proven their ability to assist our fleet of more than 240 delivered S-92 helicopters.”

 

The Customer Support Center enables quicker access to Sikorsky’s logistics and spare parts inventory for S-92 operators in the region, as well as advanced service capabilities. Sikorsky Helitech is already a support center for the S-76® line of aircraft.

 

Sikorsky Helitech’s General Manager David Stilianos said, “Sikorsky Helitech is very pleased to have been appointed the first S-92 Customer Support Center in the world. As the S-92 fleet in the Asia Pacific region is rapidly expanding, Sikorsky Helitech looks forward to supporting the growing S-92 customer base in Australia, Asia and other parts of the world with a wide range of maintenance, operation, repair and support services, including modifications and completions.”

 

Sikorsky has delivered more than 240 S-92 helicopters to customers throughout the world and in 2014, Sikorsky celebrated the 10-year anniversary of the S-92 helicopter. The fleet has reached more than 800,000 flight hours, with nearly 90 percent of those hours providing offshore oil and gas worker transportation. S-92 helicopters also perform search and rescue missions, heads of state missions, and a variety of transportation missions for utility and airline passengers.Sikorsky Aircraft Corp., based in Stratford, Connecticut, is a world leader in aircraft design, manufacture and service.
