Full capability at Somerton following MAA Audits

Posted: 10th May, 2022

HeliOperations has continued to develop our facility at Somerton in South Somerset. Following extensive work with our regulator, the Military Aviation Authority, we are now able to undertake a wide range of activity there including maintenance, the recovery of spares and the preservation of the aircraft and other spares held in storage. As HeliOperations develops, the Somerton facility will become increasingly important, providing us with the capacity and capability to generate additional aircraft and undertake deeper maintenance activity.
