Patriot Aviation has been appointed as a Schweizer International Distributor and Service Centre for their 269 Helicopter Series, which includes the 333, 300C and 300CBi.  

The move is in line with Patriot's strategy to be the UK's leading general aviation player.  Patriot already holds the Bell Helicopter distributorship for the UK and Northern Ireland. The addition of Schweizer extends Patriots market penetration to flying schools and individuals looking for the acknowledged brand for safety and ease of maintenance. 

Earlier this year Patriot acquired CSE Aircraft sales, the Cessna authorised representative for the UK and Northern Ireland.  CSE has also over 20 years experience and track record as a Schweizer Distributor and Service Centre.  

Patriot's Chairman, leading Entrepreneur Sir Peter Rigby, said:

"We are delighted to represent Schweizer in the UK around its safe and robust range of helicopters.   They are an ideal choice for flying schools and particularly the first aircraft for newly qualified or aspiring pilots".
