Safran Helicopters has signed an SBH contract with Yellowhead Helicopters to provide support-by-the-hour of the Arriel engines powering Yellowhead's Airbus AS350 and H125 fleets. The SBH contract formalizes a long-term MRO and services agreement for 21 engines.

Safran Helicopter Engines Canada in Mirabel, Quebec, will manage the contract. That unit provides customers in North America with support services for the Arriel and Arrius engines such as the repair and overhaul of engines, modules, and accessories.
