Sharp Technics K is now the first authorized customer service center in the Republic of Korea for the Sikorsky S-92 helicopter. S-92s are flown by the Korea Coast Guard, which has been operating them since 2014, in addition to S-92As at National 119 Rescue for lifesaving and firefighting missions. The Republic of Korea Air Force also uses three S-92As for presidential transport. According to Sikorsky, more than 30 S-92s are operating in Asia-Pacific.

“We are honored to be authorized as a customer support center for the S-92 helicopter,” said Paik Soon-suk, president and CEO of Sharp Technics K. "We share Sikorsky’s passion for aviation safety and reliability, and we are committed to delivering exceptional service to our customers.” Sharp Technics K is a subsidiary of Sharp Aviation K and is based at Incheon International Airport in Seoul.

The addition of Sharp Technics K for S-92 support “will facilitate faster maintenance turnaround times and local parts supply for S-92 operators in the Republic of Korea and beyond who are dedicated to search-and-rescue, firefighting, and head-of-state transport missions," said Leon Silva, v-p of global commercial and military systems at Sikorsky. “This initiative demonstrates Sikorsky’s ongoing commitment to Korea and the S-92 helicopter, and we are confident that Sharp Technics K will deliver exceptional service.”
