Aircraft dealer and lessor Rotortrade has added the AW139 to its list of EASA certifications held by its MRO facility at its European Maintenance Centre in Tallard in southeastern France. The certification is part of the company’s investment into technical capability and infrastructure that it began with the opening of the facility last year.
As a result of the certification, Rotortrade can offer customers scheduled inspections, maintenance, upgrades, and mission-specific modifications. Rotortrade expects to receive its first two AW139s for servicing ahead of summer 2025.
The latest certification joins a widening portfolio for the company, which already has EASA Part 145 for EC120, H125 and H145. In addition, the company holds EASA CAMO authorisation for Airbus H125, H130, EC135, H145, H160 and H225, as well as Leonardo AW109 and AW139.
“Expanding our scope to include the AW139 is a significant step in the growth of our MRO capabilities,” said Philippe Lubrano, CEO of Rotortrade. “This enables us to offer more comprehensive support to our clients and better respond to the operational needs of AW139 operators in Europe and beyond.”
