Sazma Aviation, a new helicopter operator based in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia, has selected Heli-One to provide tip-to-tail, power-by-the-hour (PBH) support to its first Sikorsky S-76 C++ aircraft.

Sazma Aviation, a subsidiary of Sabah Air, provides helicopter services to customers operating in the Malaysian offshore oil-and-gas sector, where there has seen rapid growth in recent years. Sazma’s S-76 C++ aircraft is expected to average 80 flight hours per month.

As well as PBH support, the five-year deal includes a dedicated consignment stock of S-76 parts on-site in Malaysia, as well as access to Heli-One’s expansive spare-parts inventory.
