Rotortrade has opened a brand new European Maintenance Center in Tallard, France, from where it will provide comprehensive support to owners and operators, including CAMO and, shortly, Part 145 services.

The center is equipped to service helicopters from all major OEMs, offering a one-stop solution for maintenance needs. Services extend beyond routine maintenance, with a cutting-edge paint shop capable of accommodating any type of helicopter and retrofit capabilities enabling it to undertake mission-specific modifications, meeting the diverse requirements of clients.

With a mission to serve as the industrial backbone for helicopter maintenance services, it spans 1,200sqm and is capable of hosting up to eight helicopters simultaneously.

Rotortrade CEO Philippe Lubrano says: "The opening of our European Maintenance Center in Tallard marks a significant step in our global dealership strategy. This facility is not just a maintenance centre; it's a testament to our commitment to delivering top-notch services to helicopter owners and operators worldwide. We envision it as a hub of excellence in the industry."

The center will initially operate with a dedicated team of eight skilled professionals, with plans to expand to 15 employees by 2025. Rotortrade invites industry professionals, partners and enthusiasts to explore the center and witness firsthand its commitment to excellence in helicopter maintenance.

Key features include CAMO and Part 145 services (the Part 145 is currently in progress); full-service capabilities for all major OEMs; a paint shop for all helicopter types; and capacity to host up to eight helicopters.

Eros Sullini, managing director of the Rotortrade European Service Center, comments: "I am honoured to be part of this exciting venture. Our goal is to elevate the industry benchmarks by offering a comprehensive range of services, from CAMO and Part 145 to bespoke mission-specific modifications.
