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.
Jaz Gribble, Operations Helisika Helicopters
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. Oceania’s Parts team are also an asset to our business - if they don’t happen to have a part or component in stock (which is rare), they go above and beyond to source what we need!
Neil Mathieson, CEO Aero Support
