At Avincis' Loures, Portugal MRO facility, a team of 10 people is completing a two-year inspection on one of the company's Italy-based Leonardo AW139s.

Helicopter emergency services provider Avincis sent one of its Italy-based Leonardo AW139 helicopters to its MRO facility in Loures, Portugal, where it will undergo a two-year heavy inspection. This is the first time that Avincis selected the Loures MRO for such a large job.

Avincis operates 180 helicopters in Europe, and its global headquarters has been located in nearby Lisbon since 2023. Sending the AW139 to Loures is part of a plan to strengthen that facility’s MRO capabilities and provide more long-term job security to employees there. The Loures facility previously had worked on Avincis helicopters deployed in Portugal and Spain.
