The company’s 125,000-sq.-ft. headquarters in Broussard, Louisiana, houses its maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) center, parts inventory, offices, and engineering facilities. Located off airport in farmland south of downtown Broussard and a dozen or so miles north of the Gulf of Mexico, Arrow Aviation serves commercial, offshore, corporate, air medical, and private aviation operators. The company’s FAA-certificated repair station is an authorized service center for Airbus, Bell, Leonardo, and Sikorsky helicopters. Additionally, Arrow is an authorized MRO center for the Rolls-Royce M250 engine and provides maintenance for the Pratt & Whitney PT6T series, PT6B series, and PW200 series engines. MRO and Much More Arrow’s MRO services include airframe rebuilding, structural repairs, inspections, avionics upgrades, component overhauls, and custom aircraft painting. The company inspects, repairs, and overhauls individual hydraulic components as well as complete hydraulic assemblies. Operators can search Arrow’s wide range of both OEM and overhauled or serviceable parts at the company’s website and either have the repairs done in Broussard or purchase the parts for self-repair. Arrow also offers leasing services. The company has a fleet of more than 60 Bell and Sikorsky helicopters available for short-term or long-term dry lease and can configure the aircraft to meet specific operator needs.
