Safran Helicopter Engines, a manufacturer of low- and medium-power gas turbine turboshaft engines for helicopters has signed a contract with The Helicopter and Jet Company (THC). According to the agreement, Safran Helicopter Engines will provide support for the Arrano and Arriel engines powering the company’s H160, H125 and H145 helicopter fleets. The newly signed Support-By-the-Hour (SBH) contract formalizes a long-term Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) and services agreement between the two companies with Safran supporting more than 60 engines of the THC fleet.
Frédéric Fourciangue, Managing Director, Safran Helicopter Engines Support France said: “This contract marks a new milestone in our partnership with The Helicopter and Jet Company. THC is a most important provider of helicopter services, with a very strong growth curve. Safran Helicopter Engines will deploy resources locally to support this key actor and we are particularly proud to be its partner”.
