Heliconia Industrie Appointed as an AgustaWestland Authorized Service Centre in Morocco

Supporting AW139s performing offshore transport

Finmeccanica - AgustaWestland announced today it has appointed Heliconia Industrie Sarl as an Authorized Service Centre for the AW139 intermediate twin helicopter in Morocco. Heliconia, an official distributor of AgustaWestland commercial helicopters in Morocco since early 2014 with two offshore-configured AW139s already in service and a contract for two additional helicopters, will provide a range of support and maintenance services from its base headquartered in Marrakech, Morocco.

This latest step further expands the partnership between AgustaWestland and Heliconia to ensure the AW139s can get the best level of on-site services to maximise operational effectiveness in support of the oil and gas industry.

Heliconia Group, with companies based in Morocco and France, is already a major provider of helicopter services in North African countries, where it undertakes aerial work and more recently offshore transportation. Heliconia is already working on further regional developments from its Morocco-based operations.
