In a move to further improve support for its international customers, RUAG Aviation (RUAG) is establishing a new helicopter facility at Sion Airport (LSGS) in western Switzerland. Launching in early 2014, the facility will initially focus on MRO services of Sikorsky S-76 helicopters. Further helicopter types could be added to the portfolio.
Comprising of a hangar, office and workshop space, the site will initially be staffed by a team of two. The team will be reinforced by specialists from RUAG Aviation’s helicopter facilities in Alpnach and Mollis, according to the specific requirements of individual projects.
“Our international customers will benefit from faster on-site services through this new facility,” RUAG Aviation’s GM of helicopters Andreas Baumann. “This milestone also marks the strengthening of our position in the twin turbine and VIP helicopter segments.”
