MD Helicopters has selected Thoroughbred Aviation as its first authorized service center (ASC) location in Texas. The Thoroughbred facility is located in Georgetown and is the company’s second MD ASC and its sixth location.
Thoroughbred Aviation is headquartered in Lexington, Kentucky. At the Georgetown ASC, the company offers full-service maintenance support for MD models, including blade balancing, basic through advanced maintenance, and specialized tools. A multi-year government contract is also part of the work that will be done at Thoroughbred’s Texas location.
“We have been focused on ensuring our network is geographically aligned with our fielded fleet,” said MD Helicopters v-p of aftermarket service and support Ryan Weeks. “By adding an ASC in Texas, we are better serving our customers with our trusted partners at Thoroughbred Aviation and expanding our network into a region that has one of the highest concentrations of MD helicopters in the country.”
“We look forward to serving the helicopter community in this region, bringing the excellent service and technical expertise we are known for across our other locations,” said Thoroughbred Aviation v-p Joe Otte. He added that the range of its services includes completions, avionics, paint, and routine maintenance.
