BESSEL

BESSEL is a maintenance, repair and overhaul organisation in Valencina de la Concepción, near Seville, Spain. It is part of the BESSEL AEROPROP group. The organisation specialises in landing gear, aircraft propellers and helicopter rotor blades for civil and military operators.

Propeller work covers maintenance, overhaul and repair of propeller assemblies and components from Hamilton Sundstrand, Hartzell, McCauley, Sensenich and Woodward. The company also offers rental and exchange units to support its customers' repair programmes, which helps keep aircraft flying while their own propellers are in the shop.

Landing gear work covers maintenance, overhaul and repair. The company says that all of these operations are carried out in its own facilities in Seville. It says this allows it to offer competitive prices, short turnaround times and high quality standards.

Helicopter blade work includes overhaul, maintenance and repair of main and tail rotor blades. The company has a dedicated workshop for the blades of the Boeing CH-47 Chinook and AH-64 Apache. It also repairs blades for Airbus, Bell, Boeing and Sikorsky helicopters.

BESSEL is an authorised centre of Airbus Defence and Space. It also offers rental and sale services for the Airbus (CASA) CN235 aircraft. The company says it holds certified capabilities for the main aircraft manufacturers, endorsed by major aviation authorities.

The company says it maximises fleet availability by offering a short turnaround and a low scrap ratio.

The group publishes a code of conduct, a quality policy, an environmental policy and general purchasing conditions. It also lists Boeing among its partners and offers internships, open positions and a careers page for people who want to join the team.
