Sept. 22, 2010, Vancouver – Vector Aerospace Helicopter Services-North
America is pleased to announce it has been awarded Turbomeca Engine
Corporation (Turbomeca) approval for full repair and overhaul on the
Arriel 2 engine. Under the terms of the licensing agreement, Vector can
now provide operators in North America (including Mexico) comprehensive
Arriel 2 engine repair and overhaul support, including full test

John MacDougall, Vector’s senior vice-president of sales and marketing is extremely confident that the new approval will be an asset for Arriel 2 operators throughout Vector’s new territory. “We are extremely pleased with the confidence Turbomeca has placed in us through the issuance of this license.

Based on this new approval, Vector will now increase the current levels of maintenance and overhaul support offered for the Arriel 2B, 2B1, 2C, 2C1, 2C2, 2S1 and 2S2 series of engines,” says MacDougall.  “This means Turbomeca-powered helicopter operators have another reliable and industry-proven service provider to meet their engine repair and overhaul requirements.
