Skytech Helicopters has become the first UK-based MD Helicopters-authorized service center (ASC). The CAA-approved maintenance company has been serving MD helicopter operators for more than 20 years from a 7,500-sq-ft facility in Northampton.
Located at Sywell Aerodrome, Skytech is a CAA-approved Part 145 maintenance provider and can also service U.S.-registered helicopters. In addition to all of the MD-series helicopters and Schweizer piston-engine models, the company offers maintenance for the Bell 206 series and provides technical assistance and parts in Italy and Portugal.
“We have been a longstanding supporter of MD Helicopters and are passionate about the airframe and its loyal customers,” said Martin Lovell, owner of Skytech Helicopters. “We are proud to be the first ASC in the UK and excited to continue our high-quality maintenance, service, and support for the entire line of MD Helicopters products.”
“We continue to deliver on our promise to our customers to reduce response times by increasing and expanding the geographical location of our MD Helicopters service providers,” added MD Helicopters v-p of aftermarket service and support Ryan Weeks. “Expanding in Europe is a milestone we are proud to achieve and we look forward to continuing to grow our service base around the world.”
