Heli-One will be providing Caverton’s S-76C++ with comprehensive maintenance support covering airframe, components (including dynamics), avionics, rotor blades, rescue equipment and more. Caverton will benefit from Heli-One’s experience and extensive support options for planned and unplanned events for the S-76 aircraft type.

Caverton Helicopters is based in Lagos, Nigeria, and was established in 2002. The company provides helicopter services for a variety of mission types, but are primarily focused on the offshore industry in the region. In addition to the S-76C++, its fleet also includes AS350, AW139, Bell 407, and Bell 412 aircraft. Caverton’s primary base is located at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos and the company also has facilities in Victoria Island, Port Harcourt, Warri and Cameroon.

Heli-One Canada is an authorized S-76 customer support center and an authorized gearbox overhaul facility. Its design and engineering team has developed hundreds of major, minor and repair modifications for the aircraft type, including a comprehensive flight display modernization for older variants.

“Our team is ready to provide Caverton Helicopters with the best S-76 maintenance support in the industry. This agreement will ensure that Caverton will be covered for all planned and unplanned events at a predictable cost. We have great turnaround times and innovative repairs for the S-76, helping Caverton reduce aircraft downtime and for them to continue providing key services for the Nigerian region,” said Eddie Lane, president, Heli-One.

Caverton Helicopters technical director, Sean Ward, said, “By utilizing Heli-One’s maintenance program, we can plan for predictable maintenance budgets, covering both scheduled and unscheduled events, maximizing our aircraft’s availability.”
