Avincis Group (Avincis), the world’s leading provider of aerial services for mission critical operations, has signed an agreement with Turbomeca (Safran) for support of approximately 180 helicopter engines operated by Avincis’ operating subsidiaries around the world.

Announced at Heli-Expo in Las Vegas, the Memorandum of Understanding extends the provision of Turbomeca’s Support By the Hour (SBH®) programme to Avincis’ INAER operating companies.   Bond operating companies already benefit from the SBH® service.  The agreement provides for support for 14 different engine variants.

Avincis Group Director of Fleet & Engineering Martin Whittaker said: “This agreement secures engineering support for a significant part of our global helicopter fleet.  Every day, lives and livelihoods depend on the operations we fly.  We are pleased to be able to strengthen our relationship with Turbomeca and look forward to continuing to build our partnership in future.”

Headquartered in the UK, the Group provides central resources, global standards and systems and expertise to its 13 local operating companies who operate a fleet of around 350 aircraft. Last year the group flew over 108,500 hours, conducted over 50,600 emergency health care missions, rescued more than 8,600 people at sea or on mountains, helped to put out over 7,800 fires and carried more than 175,900 passengers in the oil and gas industries.
