Aircraft maintenance provider BBA Aviation (Booth 228) came to NBAA 2014 with the announcement that subsidiary companies Dallas Airmotive and H+S Aviation will open new facilities in Dallas and Abu Dhabi to support designated overhaul facility (DOF) approval for Pratt & Whitney Canada.

H+S Aviation is scheduled to open its Abu Dhabi center this December to support the PW200, PW210, PT6C-67 and PT6T engines, while a new facility opening in the first quarter of 2015 at DFW International Airport will offer MRO capabilities for the PW200 and PW210.

Both companies have also added support of the Rolls-Royce RR300 turboshaft engine at facilities in Dallas and Portsmouth, N.H.

H+S Aviation managing director Mark Taylor noted that recent EASA certification for the light turbine “provided a definite boost to the European helicopter market” and builds on the company’s experience with the previous Model 250 design.
