In support of Air Methods Corporation* loyalty and commitment, Turbomeca has agreed to a 10-year dedicated customer support partnership to provide cost control and tailored services in support of their growing fleet.
Air Methods has been a loyal Turbomeca customer for many years and operates approximately 220 Turbomeca engines (Arriel 1, Arriel 2, and Arrius 2 variants), operated out numerous bases in 43 states across the U.S.

This new agreement will bring our two companies closer together with the goal of maximizing the responsiveness of our support while bringing meaningful added value to an important customer.”
