Vector Aerospace has added the Airbus Helicopters H130 (formerly EC130 T2) and EC130 B4 tail rotor gearbox (TGB) to its existing range of rotorcraft repair and overhaul capabilities. Vector will offer this expanded support for the H130/EC130 from its facilities in Langley and Richmond, British Columbia, Canada, which already offer operators worldwide a range of services for Airbus Helicopters models including the H125/AS350, AS355, H130/EC130, BO105, H135/EC135 and AS332. Vector’s service offerings for the H130/EC130 series include D-level structural repairs, dynamic component repair and scheduled maintenance. Vector is also an authorized Turbomeca Arriel 2 repair center, supporting operators in North America.

Vector Aerospace is in the process of completing a brand-new, 88,000-sq-ft facility in Langley, which will incorporate new avionics and structures shops plus 65,000 sq ft of hangar space. This facility, which will also feature expanded engineering and STC development capabilities as well as a modernized paint facility, will be formally opened during the first half of 2016.
