About

RBI Hawker


RBI Hawker Limited, a Joint Venture between Hawker Pacific Airservices Ltd and Bell, commenced operations in 2005 with a hand-picked team of specialised rotor blade repair professionals.

By establishing two world class Helicopter Rotor Blade Repair and Overhaul Facilities in strategic locations in the Middle East (Corporate Headquarters) and Australia, we can service the needs of both commercial and military helicopter operators in Africa, Asia, Oceania, Eastern Europe and the Middle East.

Our state-of-the-art facilities in the Jebal Ali Free Zone in Dubai and Brisbane, Australia have been strategically chosen due to their central locations and ease of access to transportation links by sea, air and road. These key elements are crucial to ensuring we can transport blades door-to-door anywhere in the region, resulting in a reduction in costs and time.

Each 1,000 square metre, air-conditioned facility features:

  • Climate controlled (temperature and humidity) bonding and balance areas.
  • Segregated inspection and repair areas.
  • Specific spray paint booth.
  • Advanced electronic balancing system.

Capabilities

RBI Hawker Ltd brings years of experience and expertise to each and every repair performed. All repairs are carried out to the exact specifications and requirements set out and approved by the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM).

Ensuring quality, warranties, and fleet uniformity are strictly adhered to and maintained is a core part of our service. This means that Bell customers get Bell OEM approvals for all Bell models and Leonardo OEM approvals for the A109/119 series and the AW139.

Extended Repair Approvals

With direct access to OEM Engineering, RBI Hawker Ltd will pursue extended repair approvals to reduce the cost of repairs and extend the life of your blades. RBI Hawker technicians are equipped to travel to any location around the world to conduct repairs in the field. This greatly reduces downtime for our customers and gets your aircraft back in the air sooner rather than later. Also, our warranty for repairs lasts 3 years or 2000 hours (pro-rated). This means you can rest easy, as you are covered by the best warranty in the industry.

Some examples of the approvals that RBI Hawker Ltd employ include:

1N0A5974

Supplemental Erosion Protection

With OEM Engineering approval, RBI Hawker Ltd can install inexpensive supplemental erosion strips to protect your blade. These durable strips ease maintenance and reduce repair cost.

Component Salvage and Reutilization

RBI Hawker Ltd has more OEM approvals to remove, reprocess and reinstall blade components than any other repair facility. These approvals greatly reduce repair cost and turn time delays due awaiting spares.

Twist Measurement & Management

RBI Hawker Ltd understands aging blades and repairs. Twist and contour deviations are difficult to detect and increase track and balance requirements and cost. RBI Hawker Ltd tooling and techniques can detect and improve twist deviations due to age or prior to repairs.

RBI Hawker technicians regularly travel the world to carry out field repairs. This greatly reduces the turn-around time and helps get your aircraft flying again with minimum downtime. We also hold several blades in inventory and can provide options to alleviate AOG situations.

RBI Hawker has the best warranty in the industry and warrants its repairs for 3 years or 2000 hours pro-rated.
