Aeroservicios Ave, S.A. (AVESA), Bell’s customer service facility in Central America, recently selected Able Aerospace Services as its provider for component inspection, repair, overhaul, and exchange service. This partnership benefits AVESA customers operating light and medium Bell helicopters in Guatemala and Central America, because it improves in-country product availability and cost savings.

Guatemala-based AVESA will have access to Able Aerospace's component inspection, repair, overhaul, and OEM-approved replacement parts. AVESA will also have access to the Textron company’s exchange pool for Bell models.

“AVESA—like Able—is committed to providing the best products and support to its customers,” said Gabriel Massey, Able Aerospace’s general manager. “This was apparent from our earliest discussions with AVESA, and is something we are eager to continue to develop as we bring our full catalog of repair, overhaul, parts, and exchange capabilities to this very active rotor-wing market.”

For the past 30 years, AVESA has offered its services to Guatemala and Central America. Meanwhile, Able Aerospace Services offers FAA-approved repairs and exchanges, as well as specialized in-house services such as electroplating, non-destructive testing, hydraulics, and chemical processing at its Mesa, Arizona facility.
