Macquarie Adds More S-92s to Lease Fleet

San Francisco-based Macquarie Rotorcraft Leasing (MRL, Booth No. 7802) announced yesterday here at Heli-Expo the purchases of two Sikorsky S-92A twin-engine helicopters for its growing fleet aimed at supporting operators in the oil-and-gas and search-and-rescue markets. The two S-92s will be leased back to Avincis subsidiary Bond Offshore Helicopters and will be delivered in the second quarter of 2014.

“We’re really targeting the intermediate twin and heavy twin sector,” Macquarie COO James Clarke said of its growing portfolio of rotorcraft. MRL purchased two S-92As and two S-76Ds in November, and recently added an additional S-76D and two other helicopters to its roster.
