HTS operates one of the most advanced helicopter maintenance and support facilities in the western United States. Located in Aurora, Oregon, our 210,000+ sq-ft complex houses a full suite of in-house capabilities designed to keep heavy-lift fleets mission-ready, efficient, and safe. As an FAA Part 145 Repair Station, our teams provide comprehensive support ranging from routine inspections to major overhauls and complete aircraft rebuilds—all under one roof.

 

The Aurora facility includes dedicated departments for Electrical & Avionics, Component Overhaul & Repair, Engine Overhaul, NDT, Hydraulics, Sheet Metal, Tube Bending, and a full-size heated/vented/filtered paint booth large enough for major components and airframes. This vertically integrated approach reduces downtime, increases quality control, and ensures every aircraft receives expert care from specialists who understand the demands of heavy-lift, utility, construction, firefighting, and remote-area operations.

 

Purpose-built for Skycranes, S-61s, and other heavy-lift platforms, the Aurora facility is a critical backbone of HTS’s operational readiness—supporting our 11-aircraft Skycrane fleet and ensuring customers receive aircraft that perform reliably in the world’s toughest environments
