The company has 350 to 400 aircraft in its support programs throughout the region, out of 5,000 enrolled worldwide, and has seen a recent double-digit surge in business flying in Brazil and strong increases in Mexico as well. Aside from the raw growth in flight hours, other factors are in play that make JSSI and the maintenance and ownership services it offers particularly attractive to customers in the region. Brazilian operators are taking a much more professional approach to aviation recently. The labor shortages in the U.S. combined with the health and political crises in Europe and raw material shortages all affect prices.
JSSI can offer customers tools to enhance their visibility and predictability in a neutral way that does not favor one OEM or provider over another. Brazil’s offshore helicopter market, driven by the needs of national energy company Petrobras, is an area of interest for JSSI.
