CUSTOMER REVIEWS

Oceania’s Airborne Systems division have set the bar high when it comes to role equipment functionality and quality. Helisika Helicopters have been working closely with the Airborne team for a number of years and we value their focus on collaboration, efficient turnaround times and their ability to customise products to what we need. We would highly recommend their role equipment products and design/manufacturing expertise to anyone wanting to add functionality to their mission operations.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS

Oceania Aviation provide Aero Support with an exceptional level of service, whichever division we are working with. We are a long-time customer of their engine overhaul workshop, and we are always happy with both the quick turnaround time and the quality of the results.
