Czech Republic Enstrom partners are onboarded
Teaming up with DSA Aviation Company and Lom Praha will allow Enstrom to have stronger product representation in the region, bringing more services and expertise closer to mutual customers.
Lom Praha will serve as a collaborator with DSA on providing component overhauls. Future areas of collaboration will be announced at a later date.

Enstrom Helicopter Corporation has signed a letter of intent with Czech companies DSA Aviation Company and Lom Praha to broaden the scope of their collaboration and better serve customers in Europe.

Delta System Air (DSA) is an established Enstrom dealer servicing territories in the Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia, Greece, Cyprus, Macedonia, Albania, Bulgaria and Romania. With this agreement in place, DSA is now the primary European regional importer for parts, service and aircraft products for Enstrom. This will allow Enstrom to have stronger product representation in the region, bringing more services and expertise closer to mutual customers.

Lom Praha will serve as a collaborator with DSA on providing component overhauls. Future areas of collaboration will be announced at a later date.

Enstrom commercial director Tori Schuchart says: “We are working together with both companies to expand existing capabilities, add new services and bolster Enstrom's efforts to obtain validation for new products in the region.”

A signing ceremony was held in May with Enstrom senior vice president Charles Wade, US Ambassador to the Czech Republic Nicholas Merrick, and Lom Praha director Jiří Protiva, among others.

Lom Praha has been a supporter of Czech aviation for more than 110 years, and we are pleased to be able to continue this tradition through modern helicopter technology through major international companies,” concludes Protiva.
