MD Helicopters (MDH) has partnered with Able Aerospace Services to provide expanded repairs on major components used to repair and overhaul MDH gearboxes and hub assemblies. It’s the latest move in the company’s efforts to improve product support.
According to MDH, the new partnership will enable it to reduce its overhaul costs and prices by repairing and refurbishing corroded or pitted parts. The collaboration will also increase MDH’s availability of reconditioned assemblies, improve the availability of exchange units, and allow MDH to return specific serial numbers back to customers sooner.
Ryan Weeks, MD Helicopters’ Vice President of Aftermarket Sales and Support, said: “Able Aerospace specialises in rotorcraft component refurbishment. They have a long history of supporting MD Helicopters, and they are located just a few miles away in Mesa, Arizona, which makes working together very convenient and efficient. Able’s expanded repairs for main rotor hubs and gearboxes will significantly reduce the time and cost of repairing and overhauling those assemblies.”
