HSI To Offer Support For EADS Copters
Officials with
Helicopter Support Inc., a subsidiary of Sikorsky Aircraft, and
American Eurocopter reportedly jumped the gun a little bit Sunday
at HAI Heli-Expo 2006, announcing an agreement between the two
companies for HSI to become an American Eurocopter service center
one day early.
"We are proud of this new service center agreement as it rounds
out HSI’s support portfolio to include Eurocopter models and
provides enhanced support to our customers. We are delighted to
support Eurocopter products at HSI, and look forward to a long and
successful relationship with them," said David Adler, president of
HSI and Sikorsky’s senior vice president of worldwide
customer support.
The service center agreement enables HSI to support US based
Eurocopter helicopter operators’ spares and repairs
requirements, as well as satisfy Northeast regional maintenance
requirements at the HSI hangar at Tweed New Haven Airport in New
Haven, CT.
Sikorsky is currently teamed with American Eurocopter -- and its
parent company EADS North America -- in offering the UH-145 for the
US Army’s Light Utility Helicopter (LUH) requirement. Under
the teaming agreement Sikorsky will play a primary role in
providing contractor logistics support (CLS) for the UH-145.
Of course, Sikorsky also competes with Eurocopter in the
helicopter marketplace. But that hasn't fazed the company before --
HSI currently supports Bell, Robinson, and Schweizer (also a
Sikorsky subsidiary) as well as Sikorsky copters.
