“This decision further exemplifies Sikorsky’s commitment to the Asia-Pacific region and to ourcontinued focus on customer support excellence,” said Christophe Nurit, Sikorsky’s regionalsales executive, Asia. “As the preferred service centre in Thailand, Thai Aviation Services will provide a critical role in offering the highest level of support for Sikorsky helicopters in a strategically important region.”“Thai Aviation Services has a long-standing partnership with Sikorsky over the past 25 years. Sikorsky said the customer support centre would enable quick access to its logistics and spare parts inventory for operators while providing advanced service capabilities.
