(4 August 2009, Bridgeport, CT)  In a strategic move to further market share into its already well established DoD contracting market, Rotair Industries is completing a work force expansion project this month.  This expansion will lead to a net increase in personnel of 30% from the previous quarter.

With the vast majority of new hires coming from the local area, Wes Harrington, Rotair President, sees this as a great opportunity to increase business while making a positive impact on the lives of our neighbors in Bridgeport. 

An intensive training effort geared to bring the new employees up to speed rapidly will mean Rotair will be even more capable of performing well on production of critical helicopter components.

(22 June 2009, Bridgeport, CT)  Rotair Industries is pleased to announce receipt of a 1.2 million dollar award for commercial spares for Sikorsky S61N and S61L helicopters flown in North America.

All parts will be supplied under Rotair’s extensive FAA PMA program.  “I believe Rotair holds the greatest number of rotorcraft PMA’s in the United States,” said Wes Harrington, Rotair’s President.  At last count Rotair had over 3000.  “Rotair’s PMA’s and the large inventories we maintain for our customers have propelled Rotair to a leading position in after-market helicopter spares.”

The Sikorsky S-61, both commercial and military versions, has a distinguished history and still serves in these roles around the world.  With recent advancements in blade technology, and updated with “glass cockpits,” the S-61 finds itself even supporting our National Military Strategy in Afghanistan, where the extremes of terrain and weather challenge even the newest models produced by America’s premier helicopter manufacturers.

“It’s hard to find an aircraft more capable for the task at hand,” said Wes Harrington.  “We’re extremely proud to play a small role in the S-61’s continued success and on-going missions around the world.
