MDH will provide spare parts, repair & overhaul, and in-country technical and logistical support for SANG’s 12 x MD530F helicopter flight training fleet.

The contract is for a base year plus four additional option years. Under the $19 million contract, MDH will supply a field service representative and logistics technician in Saudi Arabia to support fleet maintenance and parts management. Additionally, the contract provides aircraft materials to maintain the current fleet. 

“The Saudi Arabian National Guard is a long time MD customer, and it is our privilege to be their preferred partner for ensuring timely and cost-effective maintenance of the fleet,” said Ryan Weeks, president at MD Helicopters. “By working directly with MD, SANG will experience increased responsiveness, faster turn times, and higher quality work, which translates into time and money savings.”
