GPMS International is embarking on a strategic expansion into Europe through a partnership with helicopter MRO provider and operator Léman Aviation. The collaboration aims to introduce GPMS’s Foresight MX, a health and usage monitoring system (HUMS), to European operators.
“When we were first introduced to Foresight, we couldn’t believe how easy the system was to use and the value it brings,” remarked Vincent Pollet, co-founder of Léman Aviation. “With Foresight, we will know the health of our helicopter components and ensure a smooth flight experience before we leave the ground.”
“Our STCs cover numerous platforms and OEMs, but our upcoming certifications for the Airbus H135, H145, and AS332 platforms are key requirements to meeting the demand of the European market,” said GPMS v-p of marketing Ronnie Ries. Léman is “excited about our certification progress and is ready to discuss implementation into its fleet.”
Léman Aviation, encompassing subsidiaries Alpes Maintenance and Alpes Hélicoptères, brings a dual perspective as both an MRO provider and an operator. This position aligns with GPMS's goal to partner with qualified MROs across Europe. Ries noted Léman Aviation’s comprehensive understanding of Foresight MX’s value, including its HUMS and flight data monitoring capabilities.
