Global helicopter distributor Rotortrade will open a maintenance, sales, and services hub in Riyadh, marking its entry into the Saudi Arabian market. Construction of the facility is expected to start in February and be completed by the end of next year.
Following Rotortrade’s acquisition by Saudi Arabia-based The Helicopter Co., Rotortrade said its upcoming Helipark facility is intended to support its global activities while “establishing a permanent presence in Saudi Arabia.” This will complement its existing sites in Europe, North America, and Asia-Pacific.
Design work is already underway for the 6,000-sq-m (64,583-sq-ft), three-floor center, which will include what Rotortrade describes as “a fully integrated service center offering [helicopyter] maintenance, repair, and operational support.” Services initially offered will focus on sales support, maintenance, completion, and part-out projects for Airbus and Leonardo helicopters.
The Helipark hub will be situated within Saudi Arabia’s Special Integrated Logistics Zone (SILZ), eight kilometres from King Khalid International Airport. SILZ CEO Dr Fadi Al-Buhairan described the Helipark as “a critical infrastructure that accelerates [the region’s] transformation into a multimodal logistics powerhouse,” helping to cement Saudia Arabia’s role as a regional aviation hub.
