The support of the Sikorsky helicopters of the Navy will be carried out by a certified domestic repair body through FMS credits, in parallel with the structures of the Navy, while it will include repair, inspection, maintenance and upgrade works.

This process significantly strengthens the work of supporting the Navy helicopters, while ensuring their high operational availability as well as the acquisition of know-how by domestic agencies in specialized repair work.

On Feb. 25 the Greece Seahawk Program received the first of three Hellenic Navy S-70B/B-6 helicopters for MRO services just months after an essential follow-on support case. PMA-299 helped to secure this in less than six months.

The 2nd S-70B6 helicopter came in for maintenance & upgrade.
The Greek Navy, literally adhering to its tight schedules, sent the second helicopter for maintenance at the company's facilities. The Greek AEROSERVICES SA has been selected by the United States Navy, for the implementation of the "heavy" maintenance and modernization program of the Bravo (S-70B6/B) helicopters of the Greek Navy. The helicopters will not come to the level of Romeo (MH-60R), but will definitely be superior to the current configuration S-70B6/B

The 2nd maintained S-70B6 was delivered to the Hellenic Navy.
The third helicopter has already started its upgrade and will be delivered in September.
