Pakistan Navy Sea King refurbishment

Vector Aerospace Corporation, a global independent provider of aviation maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services, has contracted with the Pakistan Navy for the return to service of three Leonardo Helicopters (ex-Westland) Sea Kings at its Fleetlands facility in Gosport, in the UK. Work on the contract is performed by Vector’s UK-based Aviation Services team, previously responsible for depth maintenance of the UK Ministry of Defence’s Sea King helicopter fleet. A total of seven former UK MoD Sea King aircraft have been acquired by the Pakistan Navy under a separate contract signed last year. The ceremony for formal handover of the aircraft from UK MoD’s Disposal Services Authority (DSA) to the Pakistan Navy was held at Fleetlands on 24 May.
