Sikorsky, a Lockheed Martin company, and Bristow Group announced a long-term agreement to support Bristow’s global fleet of more than 60 S-92 helicopters, used primarily in offshore energy and search and rescue operations. The deal includes the Sikorsky Total Assurance Program (TAP), a power-by-the-hour arrangement that covers over 90 percent of replacement part costs and ensures budget predictability.

The support package offers access to Sikorsky’s global logistics network and Sikorsky360 portal for parts ordering, status updates, financial info, and aircraft data. Sikorsky is also introducing enhancements to the S-92 platform, including a new main gearbox with an auxiliary lubrication system that maintains flight capability after oil pressure loss. FAA certification is expected in 2025.

Sikorsky has also extended inspection intervals and granted life extensions for certain gearbox components, enabling operators to reduce downtime and extend service life by 12 to 24 months depending on usage.

The agreement strengthens Sikorsky’s commitment to commercial aviation and Bristow’s position as the largest S-92 operator worldwide.
