Safran Helicopter Engines has signed a Memorandum of
Understanding with Thai Aviation Industries (TAI) during International Paris
Air Show to support helicopter engines operated by Royal Thai Armed Forces.
Royal Tai Armed Forces are operating Makila-powered H225M
and Arriel-powered fleet of H125M, H145M, AS365N3+ and H155 in operation within
the Royal Thai Air Force, Army, Navy, Police and Survey Department.
This MOU marks a new milestone between Safran and TAI
after the signature earlier this year of a Global Support Package (GSP) to
support Makila 2A1 engines operated by the Royal Thai Air Force.
Safran aims to deliver world-class services to guarantee
engine availability; thus demonstrating that the GSP model is particularly
well-suited to supporting the engine fleets of modern air forces.
This long-term agreement will be executed through TAI,
the main aircraft repair and maintenance service provider in Thailand for the
Royal Tai Armed Forces and Police. TAI, in partnership with Safran, will provide
helicopter engine line maintenance, depot repair, inventory management and
technical support expertise to ensure availability of the Safran Helicopter
Engines’ fleet in operation.
The Safran GSP contract optimizes turboshaft availability
and enables military and parapublic operators to focus on their core
activities. It guarantees availability at a fixed price per engine flying hour
and provides the customer with high levels of autonomy and budget control.
Safran Helicopter Engines supports its 243 customers in
Southeast Asia and Indian subcontinent through its Singapore-based subsidiary
Safran Helicopter Engines Asia.
