Fort Worth, Texas (June 14, 2016) – Bell Helicopter, a Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT) company, announced today a name change and rebranding of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Edwards Rotorcraft Solutions Inc.  – strengthening the Bell Helicopter brand in the Americas.

This Bell Helicopter operation (legal entity: Bell Helicopter Miami, Inc.) is the company’s regional maintenance repair and overhaul facility, located in South Florida. It was established in June 2007 to provide rotorcraft service, support and complete helicopter refurbishments and provides services for federal, state, parapublic, helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS), oil and gas, off-shore, private and corporate customers.

“Officially changing the name reinforces our commitment to provide a facility that offers the industry-leading service and support we are known for worldwide,” said Glenn Isbell, Bell Helicopter’s executive vice president of Customer Support and Services. “The name reflects the strength of the Bell Helicopter brand and the company’s growing presence and capabilities in the region.” 

This company-owned customer service facility is an FAA-approved repair station for all Bell Helicopter aircraft as well as other OEM models. It also serves as a gateway to Central and South American customers, many of whom have onsite scheduled and unscheduled maintenance performed at this facility.

“The capabilities of the team and facility continue to grow,” said David Burch, general manager, Bell Helicopter’s Miami facility. “With wide-ranging maintenance and repair capabilities, from the smallest avionics upgrade to a complete aircraft rebuild, we work hard to provide tailored, cost-effective services for our customers.”
