Heli Invest and Eurocopter sign an agreement to set up a Maintenance Center in Poland
On 16 June, Mr. Jurek Wilczynski, President of Heli Invest (Poland) and Mr. Jean-Pierre Dedieu, Executive Vice President of Eurocopter Customer Support, signed a contract covering the creation of a maintenance center.
Marignane, 06 July 2005
The 3-year contract calls for Heli Invest to perform light maintenance on EC120 and EC130 helicopters and to promote Eurocopter customer services in Poland
Encouraged by the buoyant market since the first EC120 was sold to a private operator 4 years ago, Heli Invest decided to set up maintenance facilities so the company could offer its customers a Eurocopter-approved "all-inclusive package".
To achieve this, the President of Heli Invest first hired qualified technicians, and had them trained by Eurocopter. Quality procedures for the maintenance of Polish civil helicopters were then implemented to obtain the Part 145 approval from the EASA (European Aviation Safety Agency) in the next few weeks.
After the audit by Eurocopter scheduled for the 3rd quarter in 2005, Heli Invest will be bale to offer its customers a full range of services.
