Protective Packaging offers long-term preservation solutions for idled helicopters

As helicopter operators and airlines around the globe are grounding flights in response to Covid-19, the oil-and-gas market, and other pressures, they are scrambling for cost-effective ways for aircraft and equipment preservation. In the absence of adequate hangar space, many companies have been forced to simply park aircraft on idle ramps or runways at airports and let Mother Nature take her toll.

Protective Packaging Corporation offers an alternative: AirProPak preservation kits that completely enclose helicopters and planes in layers of vacuum-sealed, mil-spec moisture barrier packaging, allowing them to be stored indoors or out. Protective Packaging developed this preservation process through years of working with the U.S. military and private companies to store a variety of equipment and machinery. Within the last five years, the company has customized the process to meet the needs of helicopter companies all over the world to preserve helicopters during transport and storage.
