Jet Support Services (JSSI) plans to present educational seminars to local turbine aircraft owners and operators based in Brazil and Chile. The first will be held July 15 at Helipark in Brazil, just outside São Paulo.

Tony Gilbert, vice president of business development in South America for JSSI, and Aroldo Rovero, JSSI’s director of business development, will be presenting detailed information about hourly cost maintenance programs, how they work and how they can increase the aircraft’s value while lowering overall maintenance costs. The seminar will be presented in Portuguese. On August 27, JSSI will be conducting a seminar in Chile hosted by JSSI Alliance member Aerocardal in Santiago.

“Some aircraft operators in this region might not be familiar with JSSI programs or how they allow an operator to stabilize and reduce their maintenance budgets while improving the value of the asset,” said Gilbert. “We feel it is important to offer these enlightening sessions on how JSSI protects owners from unexpected maintenance expenses and enhances the OEM warranty.” JSSI offers more than 340 different programs, including the comprehensive Tip-to-Tail Program covering engines, airframes and APUs for business jets, turboprops and helicopters.
