Donaldson Aerospace & Defense has entered into a strategic alliance with Bahrain-based Global Aviation Services to strengthen support for its customers operating military, government, commercial and private helicopters in key Middle East markets.

Donaldson Aerospace & Defense, a division of Donaldson Company, Inc. (NYSE: DCI), has named Global Aviation Services (GAS) as its representative and distributor for customers in Bahrain, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.  Donaldson customers in those countries include operators of Sikorsky Aircraft H-60 BLACK HAWKs, AgustaWestland AW109s and AW139s and Bell Helicopter 407s and 205s/UH-1Hs, as well as Eurocopter AS350s and MD Helicopters MD500s.

Under their alliance, GAS’ team of dedicated multilingual, aviation specialists will provide around-the-clock sales and full life-cycle support of all Donaldson Aerospace & Defense military and commercial products in the five countries. The GAS team will help ensure that customers in those countries get the most benefit from Donaldson’s advanced filtration solutions, such as its Inlet Barrier Filter systems to protect helicopter powerplants.  GAS’ resources include a bonded-status distribution depot at the Bahrain International Airport Free Zone.

“Our military, commercial and civil customers in the Middle East perform missions with their helicopters that are vital to the security and economy of the region and the world,” said Eric Erickson, General Manager of Donaldson Aerospace & Defense in St. Louis. “With its local knowledge and presence in the region, Global Aviation Services will help ensure that Donaldson customers continue to receive the best support in the shortest possible time.”

“This strategic alliance will shorten the supply chain for Donaldson’s customers, allowing them to benefit from both time and cost savings,” said John Smith, CEO of GAS. “We look forward to working with Donaldson in supporting those customers and strengthening the aviation industry in this important region.”

Donaldson will be briefing customers and suppliers on the strategic alliance with GAS as part of its exhibit at Booth N6001 during Heli-Expo 2013, being held March 4-7, 2013 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.  The exhibit halls open on March 5; Donaldson’s booth is in the Convention Center’s North Hall.
