Agreements Merged For The Australian Defence Force Helicopter
Fleet
Brisbane, Australia-based Sikorsky Helitech has merged several
support agreements that will provide deeper component and
accessories maintenance for the Australian Defence Force (ADF)
Kiowa aircraft fleet. The $7.5 million contract announced Monday
represents a consolidation of services that were previously
administered as separate support agreements.

"For more than 10 years, Sikorsky Helitech has supported the
Kiowa aircraft, and we are very pleased to be positioned as the
pre-eminent supplier of deeper level maintenance for the ADF's
platform. Leveraging our engineering and logistics capabilities,
this contract provides the ADF unique and extensive resources that
will deliver direct support and future options throughout the
lifecycle of the Kiowa aircraft," said George Cheetham, director of
Sikorsky Helitech.
"We are able to supply single source solutions for universal
platforms beyond Sikorsky products. This expanded maintenance
agreement solidifies our OEM expertise and capabilities and builds
on SAS's status as a global service provider with local
capabilities," said David Adler, president of Sikorsky Aerospace
Services.
Sikorsky Helitech will offer component aftermarket support for
the Kiowa fleet supplemental to maintenance and repair services
handled on-base by military personnel. Maintenance of repairable
items includes aircraft transmissions, blades, gear boxes and
auxiliary power units.
