Every year our product catalog is bigger than before. This year is no different. Our 2010 catalog is full of 3,000 parts to meet virtually every operational need.

In addition to our commitment to meet your operational challenges in the safest, most efficient way, DART Helicopter Services is steadfast in providing the highest quality products at reasonable prices. To meet this pledge, we’ve expanded our product offering this year to include:

• ground power units and starters from Red Box International
• air conditioning products by Integrated Flight Systems
• 70 of Bristow’s best cost-effective, mission-enhancing accessories
• Absolute Fire Solutions’ aerial fire fighting systems and accessories

From comfort and convenience items like a coffee cup holder, to life-saving components like FAST Bucket fire suppression system, you’re sure to find items to suit your needs between the covers of this catalog.

Because of your positive response, we’ve kept the “Maintenance Made Easy,” or MME product designation, on those accessories that streamline your maintenance efforts. Additionally, we’ve added a new Safety Enhancement section. Be sure to take a look at this section, as it includes items such as emergency push out windows, escape ladders, rotor blade tip path lights, and several other products to ensure your aircraft is equipped appropriately, no matter the circumstances.

We’ve got great things planned for 2010. We will be launching a new website as your go-to resource for all mission requirements. You will be able to create your own account, order parts online, provide valuable feedback and stay on top of our latest offerings, without waiting for the next catalog.

We will continue our search for new products to offer, as if 3,000 parts from 20 manufacturers wasn’t enough. Our focus won’t change, though. We remain steadfast as we strive for exceptional products, reliable service, and calculated growth geared toward you and your operational needs.

My team and I appreciate your business and continued support.
