Estimated reading time 1 minute, 48 seconds.

Vector Aerospace U.K. (Vector) a leading provider of aviation maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services, is pleased to announce the signing of an agreement with Airbus Helicopters enabling its Fleetlands site in Gosport to operate as an Airbus Helicopters Service Centre for countries adjoining the North Sea  – the U.K., Republic of Ireland , Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands and Belgium.
 
The agreement covers the maintenance, repair and overhaul services at the organizational and intermediate level of maintenance. This includes major inspection of airframe, blades, mechanical assemblies, hydraulics and APCU of all Super Puma variants owned by oil and gas operators and lessors active within this territory.  
 
Vector Aerospace had the opportunity to validate its capability to undertake this work when it received its first aircraft, an Airbus Helicopters’ AS332L Super Puma, from Vector Aerospace Leasing Services last year.
 
Complementing the existing AS332 & EC225 EASA Part 145 approvals, the Airbus Helicopters’ accreditation provides a key enabler to enhance and accelerate the growth of Vector Aerospace’s U.K. civil helicopter support portfolio, as the company continues to strengthen this part of its wide range of capabilities.
 
Michael Tyrrell, managing director, Vector Aerospace U.K., said, “The U.K. and wider European civil MRO markets have enormous potential that Vector Aerospace is actively working to tap into. Becoming an approved Airbus Helicopters’ Service Centre provides us with the credentials we need to deliver OEM approved support to all Super Puma operators.”
