The partnership will also enhance training and support for operators, leveraging two companies' combined expertise.

Robinson Helicopter Company (RHC) has approved Volo Mission as an authorised distributor for the R66 Utility helicopter in the United States. Volo Mission provides comprehensive services to meet the demands of the external load and aerial firefighting industry.

The R66 Utility helicopter, equipped with a Rolls Royce RR300 turbine engine and a range of safety features such as a crashworthy fuel system and a factory-installed cargo hook system, is designed for demanding external load operations.
