SonAir, a provider of onshore and offshore helicopter services to Angolan oil facilities, has chosen to use the MRO services of Heli-One at Rzeszow, Poland. Heli-One will perform G check inspections and custom painting on four of SonAir's AS332 L2 Super Puma helicopters.

“Heli-One's Poland facility provides us with a service quality, efficiency and affordability that was previously unavailable for the Super Puma in our region,” says CEO Joao Andrade. “Working with Heli-One will enable us to save money and quickly have our Super Pumas back in the air, safely flying people to and from work.”

The 65,000 square-foot hangar in Rzeszow is the newest of Heli-One's four locations and offers long range and heavy helicopter customers in EMEA a convenient and skilled option for major aircraft refurbishments.

“With in-depth knowledge of the AS332 L2 aircraft, our crew will be able to put these helicopters back in service in the shortest amount of time, while maintaining exceptional quality standards,” says Heli-One president Anthony DiNota. “Our people and capabilities in Rzeszow demonstrate our commitment to the region to deliver value for our customers. We are proud and honoured to be serving SonAir.”
