We look forward to working with AVIASUR and developing our relationship to provide local services that will benefit our customers in both Chile and Peru.â€
The agreement with AVIASUR will be followed in the next quarter by an AgustaWestland Authorised Service Centre agreement, which will enable AVIASUR to provide maintenance and other support services from its modern facility at Santiago’s Arturo Merino BenÃtez International Airport, Chile, to operators of AgustaWestland commercial helicopters.
