HeliValues now lists the Bell 206L3 and L4 models with the Meridian refurbishment in its Official Helicopter Bluebook. Broussard, Louisiana-based Meridian Helicopters has completed 25 of the refurbishments to date. The process includes stripping and repainting and the installation of a new interior, mission-specific equipment, and updated avionics. 

“Processes like this are what give an aircraft a new purpose and we are glad to have the Meridian Helicopters refurbishment added to the Official Helicopter Blue Book,” said Jason Kmiecik, president of HeliValues (Booth B2922). 

Meridian moved into its new facility in Broussard in 2022. Meridian is a Cadorath company (Booth C4120). In addition to refurbishment, Meridian offers helicopter sales and leasing and pre-buy inspection services.
