Sikorsky Ramps Up Brazilian Product Support
A major expansion of its forward stocking location, and the introduction of in-country rotor blade repair for the S-92 will drive increased availability.

Sikorsky has relocated and expanded its Brazilian forward stocking facility, which according to the airframer will enable it to house approximately seven times as many spare parts as its previous facility. The move from Multiterminais to Barra da Tijuca, near Jacarepaguá Airport, puts the facility closer to Brazilian operators including Líder Aviação, Omni Helicopters International, and CHC Helicopter, and is expected to reduce the parts receiving turnaround time from 24 hours to less than two.
