Entrusting your helicopter to the right maintenance center is a strategic decision that directly affects safety, performance, and operational costs. In this article, Eurotech – a certified MRO center with years of experience – guides you in the selection process by presenting the 5 key criteria to find a trusted partner.
1- Internationally Recognized Certifications
The first element to check is whether the maintenance center holds the necessary aviation certifications, such as Part 145 (certification issued by EASA, the European Union Aviation Safety Agency, which authorizes an organization to perform Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul on aircraft, engines, and associated components) or equivalent certifications issued by national and international authorities. These certifications ensure that the technical staff, processes, and equipment adhere to strict safety and quality standards. Eurotech is an EASA Part 145 certified MRO center and is recognized by numerous civil and governmental aviation authorities.
Experience and Specialization in Helicopters
Not all MRO centers are the same: choosing one like Eurotech, which boasts proven experience with specific helicopter models such as the AW109, AW139, H145, or AS350, is synonymous with quality and reliability.
Availability of Additional Services
In addition to regular and extraordinary maintenance, an excellent center should offer complementary services such as:
-
Structural and avionics repairs,
-
Logistics management and spare parts supply,
-
Technical support for modifications and retrofits,
-
Painting and interior refurbishment,
-
24/7 line maintenance support.
Eurotech integrates all of these services with the goal of reducing downtime and optimizing fleet management.
Advanced Maintenance Technologies
Modern maintenance goes beyond prevention: by using advanced diagnostic tools and continuously collecting flight data, Eurotech can offer maintenance that detects potential failures before they occur, enhancing helicopter reliability and reducing long-term costs. Eurotech implements these technologies to ensure maximum operational efficiency.
Reputation and Transparency
A good MRO center must be transparent in its quotes, punctual in delivery, and open to dialogue with clients. Reviews, references, and collaborations with public entities or law enforcement agencies are reliable indicators of its reputation. Eurotech, with its decades-long history, boasts a long tradition of reliability and expertise.
