Air Services International, LLC (ASI), established in 1948, has over 65 years of experience in the aviation sector, particularly in helicopter operations and maintenance repair and overhaul (MRO) services. The company has historically been a pioneer in the commercial helicopter industry, closely associated with Bell Helicopter Textron and the Rolls-Royce (Allison) Model 250 engine series. ASI offers comprehensive support for helicopter service, specializing in maintenance and repairs of helicopter engines and components, as well as providing 24/7 aviation services globally.
Over the years, ASI has evolved significantly. Initially founded as Lazy-8 Flying Service, it transformed into Arizona Helicopters Inc. and later rebranded to Air Services International. With this evolution, ASI has expanded its operations internationally, collaborating with organizations like the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and performing duties that have included providing firefighting support, humanitarian assistance, and supporting geoscientific missions.
In 2014, ASI launched a new website focusing on its services and capabilities for Rolls-Royce (Allison) M250 engines, ensuring they remain at the forefront of the industry. The company is also known for its commitment to safety and has received recognition from the Helicopter Association International (HAI) for its practices. Through strategic partnerships and ongoing innovation, ASI continues to establish itself as a leader in aviation services, valued for its expertise and dedication to quality service.
