MILITARY / DEFENCE

To remain true subject matter experts, Airmen is focusing on the Lockheed platform and OEM specific services.

No team understands the intricacies of the Lockheed C-130 better than Airmen’s C-130 Technical Services division. We understand what it takes to maintain and enhance the operational readiness of this versatile platform.

Our affinity for the C-130 family runs deep. Airmen’s dedicated engineers have decades of experience, from time served within the UK RAF and US military, as well as careers at Marshall Aerospace and Lockheed Martin, keeping the Airmen at the forefront of C-130 capability and platform developments.

We provide comprehensive support, monitoring fleet utilisation and preventative maintenance tasking, through to providing engineers to tackle AOG (Aircraft on Ground) recovery, service issues and heavy maintenance programmes swiftly and effectively, wherever the aircraft is stationed.

We provide a full spectrum of MRO and operational services to governments, military and commercial operators of all variants of the Lockheed C-130 and the Blackhawk helicopter platform.
