Joint Operation With DHL Will Service All Current Models

Sikorsky Aerospace Services -- the newly re-branded aftermarket organization for Sikorsky Aircraft -- will open a regional spare parts stocking facility in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on June 1.

The facility -- operated in partnership with logistics/shipping services provider DHL -- will receive, stock, and ship a wide array of spare parts to support Sikorsky's customers in Asia who operate a variety of civil/commercial rotorcraft including Sikorsky S-61, S-76, and S-92 helicopters. The facility also will stock parts to support fixed wing aircraft owned and operated in the region by customers of Derco Aerospace, a unit of Sikorsky Aerospace Services.

"This is an important step for Sikorsky Aerospace Services that should significantly improve our ability to support our valued customers in Southeast Asia," said David Adler, President of Sikorsky Aerospace Services. "It is a region where we are experiencing significant growth and expect that trend to continue well into the future. Our customers expect world-class support, and we intend to deliver just that."

Adler added the company plans to announced additional steps to increase its global reach. "The excitement and momentum around Sikorsky Aerospace Services has just begun -- there is much more to come," Adler said.
