Jet Support Services Inc. (JSSI), the leading provider of hourly cost maintenance programs for the business aviation industry, announced its new airframe parts-only coverage for the MD 500 and 600 series helicopters. Providing the only program of its kind to the MD helicopter market, JSSI can also include coverage for the Rolls-Royce 250 series engines to create an exclusive Tip-to-Tail maintenance program solution for these operators.
“This is an important accomplishment for JSSI and adds coverage for yet another major helicopter airframe OEM [original equipment manufacturer] to our portfolio,” said Kevin Thomas, senior vice president of business development and strategic planning for JSSI. “Built from the ground up by the talented JSSI development team, this program is a result of client demand.
“MD helicopter operators now have a solution that will stabilize their maintenance budgets, deliver lower maintenance costs, and enhance the residual value when it comes time to sell. We also have the MD 900 series helicopter airframe parts-only program under development and near completion, which will expand our offerings to cover the entire line of MD Helicopters,” said Thomas.
JSSI’s existing engine programs can be bundled with the airframe parts-only program for Tip-to-Tail coverage, and range from the comprehensive JSSI premium engine program to unscheduled coverage that eliminates the risk of unexpected engine maintenance costs. Additional options are also available to design the JSSI program that fits the needs of every turbine helicopter operator.
There are JSSI hourly cost maintenance programs available for more than 350 different aircraft, including regional airliners, and cover virtually all business jets, turboprops, and helicopters operating today.
