Will Operate From Headquarters In Brisbane, Australia

Sikorsky Helitech has become the first Sikorsky-authorized S-92 helicopter Customer Support  Center in the world, the company announced Tuesday at the Avalong Air Show. The Customer Support Center will operate out of Sikorsky Helitech in Brisbane, Australia, and will offer maintenance services for Australian and regional operators of S-92 aircraft.

“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.

“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,” said Sikorsky Helitech’s General Manager David Stilianos.

Sikorsky has delivered more than 240 S-92 helicopters to customers throughout the world and in 2014.
