Helicopter maintenance, repair and overhaul: We maintainour own fleet.

Depot-level maintenance bases in Canada and the United States, with our own component and engine overhaul. Fewer outside dependencies, tighter control of quality, and aircraft ready when the job starts.

We maintain, refurbish, repair and service our own components, so aircraft come back to the line on our schedule, not a supplier's.

HTS runs depot-level maintenance in La Ronge, Saskatchewan; Carp, Ontario; Trois-Rivières, Quebec; and Aurora, Oregon. Carp and Aurora add component overhaul: Carp for Bell helicopters, Aurora for the Skycrane fleet and its engines.

Our component overhaul processes are approved by Transport Canada and the FAA, and run by a dedicated overhaul team whose only job is the safe, meticulous refurbishment of components for return to service.

The facilities

From the head office in Carp to the heavy-lift base in Oregon, each facility is set up for the aircraft it looks after and the region it serves.
