The new hangar at Jacarepaguá Airport will serve Sikorsky S-76 and S-92 fleet providing passenger transport and aerial medical rescue in offshore operations. The newly renovated, 840 square meter space includes a VIP gathering room, briefing room, and a combined X-ray and baggage check area to help customers and crews check in quickly and stay comfortable between flights.


“Our focus is on not only building our operations in Brazil, but also the rest of Latin and Central America,” added Soares. “We have a strong history serving customers in places like Uruguay, Suriname, Nicaragua and the Falkland Islands and look forward to supporting new opportunities across the region.”
