Ranger Rotorcraft Group and Texas Aviation Services Expand MRO Services for Aging Helicopter Fleets

FORT WORTH, TX -- Ranger Rotorcraft Group Inc. and its largest subsidiary, Texas Aviation Services Inc., are increasing their scope of MRO services for aging helicopter fleets. Retrofits, spare parts, mission upgrades, and heavy maintenance are becoming a large segment of the company's service offerings for its rotorcraft customers, civilian and military. Recent investments in shop capacity, technical depth, and training have allowed TAS to add more helicopter types to its operating certificates. The enterprise's new engineering company helps by quickly assisting the technical teams with repair methods. The multi-company enterprise in Fort Worth, TX, performs services such as civilian helicopter completions and MRO, military helicopter retrofits, engineering services, parts sales, and helicopter subsystems manufacturing.

"By extending our reach into more and more aging fleets, we capture an important aspect of customer service," says Mike Bashlor, President of Texas Aviation Services. "For many years, we were primarily just a completions house. Now, with new strengths, more people, and heavy investments, we can offer first class maintenance and overhauls on essentially all turbine helicopters. We have a dozen MRO project helicopters in work right now, and they will leave here in great shape."
