RAISING THE INDUSTRY

Our MRO Capability

With experience dating back to the beginning of commercial rotary-wing flight, PHI is recognized around the world by operators and manufacturers alike as an industry leader in helicopter maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services. Today, our teams of tenured aircraft mechanics and maintenance technicians expertly maintain our own fleet of helicopters and provide support to companies across the globe.

In March 2022, we announced the expansion of our MRO services to be delivered from our state-of-the-art facility in Lafayette, Louisiana, to external third-party customers.

With aircraft becoming bigger and more technologically advanced, more businesses are needing specialist-level MRO capabilities, and PHI is expertly placed to meet this need. Opening our MRO services to the wider market is also a core part of our diversification strategy and complements our work in energy, search and rescue, air medical and marine pilot transfers segments.

Our teams of expert maintenance technicians are trained and certified to service a wide range of aircraft models and engine types. When partnering with PHI, our customers get access to more than 70 years of industry-leading MRO experience and expertise. Moreover, our services are competitively priced and aligned with the market.

As part of the expansion of MRO services announced last year, we offer routine maintenance and inspections, prebuy and lease return inspections and professional paint finishes for a variety of aircraft component types. We also offer aircraft modifications, engineering new solutions and installing complex modifications to existing systems with the MRO division able to manage the entire design and build process in-house.

Alongside offering comprehensive MRO services and support, we also leverage our integrated global parts and supply chain knowledge and insight, providing solutions to help further minimize costs and downtime while maximizing aircraft availability for customers. Backed by our deep long-standing partnerships with OEMs, PHI’s global parts and materials teams and extensive supplier network offer flexible solutions to deliver materials and components to support our customers’ fleet and asset needs.
