Heli-Lynx is now authorised to maintain both piston and turbine Enstrom helicopters.

Heli-Lynx Helicopters has been approved as an authorised maintenance, repair and overhaul provider for Enstrom piston and turbine helicopters. The company, based in southern Ontario, has supported private and commercial helicopter operators worldwide since 2002.

The company recently opened a 14,000 sq/ft facility featuring an LED-lit paint booth, advanced avionics testing equipment and expanded maintenance bays.

Enstrom is now seeking additional service centre partners and welcomes inquiries about certification.
