Ready to move
Alpine Air Support knows the importance of keeping you flying, which is why it is dedicated to ensuring a rapid AOG response, supplying the parts you need when you need them
In aviation, time isn’t just money – it’s mission-critical. When a helicopter is grounded, every minute counts, whether it’s a medical flight waiting on clearance, an offshore operation on standby, or a VIP mission with zero margin for delay. That’s why operators around the world rely on partners who understand the urgency of aircraft on ground (AOG) situations and know to call Alpine Air Support in Switzerland.
As a trusted and approved stocking distributor of Safran Actuation and Safran Electronics & Defense components for a wide variety of Airbus Helicopters products like the EC135, EC145 and Dauphin helicopters, Alpine specializes in keeping high-demand, high-rotation parts on the shelf and ready to ship. Instead of waiting for long lead-times or navigating complex supply chains, our customers gain immediate access to parts in stock – when and where they need them most.
AOG events don’t follow business hours, and neither do we. Our team is experienced in rapid AOG response, with streamlined processes designed to move critical components fast. From the first call to final delivery, we focus on speed, accuracy, and reliability, minimizing downtime and helping operators return to service as quickly as possible.
Our focus on EC135, EC145 and Dauphin parts is intentional. These platforms are widely used across emergency medical services, law enforcement, offshore transport, and corporate aviation, where dispatch reliability is essential. By maintaining a robust inventory of commonly required rotable components, we support operators with predictable availability and reduced operational risk. No guessing. No unnecessary delays. Just parts that are ready to move.
Stocking distribution is more than warehousing – it’s a proactive supply strategy based on long-term investments. We continuously analyze demand patterns, fleet usage, and operator feedback to ensure our inventory aligns with real-world needs. This approach allows us to maintain optimal stock levels while ensuring traceability, airworthiness documentation, and full compliance with our ASA-100 approved quality certification standards.
For maintenance organizations and operators alike, this means fewer grounded aircraft, improved planning, and confidence during unscheduled events. Whether you’re managing routine maintenance or responding to an unexpected AOG, having a reliable distribution partner reduces pressure across your entire operation.
Safran’s reputation for engineering excellence is matched by the expectations of operators who depend on their systems every day. From main and tail rotor servos to the complete range of autopilot avionics and electromechanical actuators, our role is to bridge the gap between original equipment manufacturers and operators by ensuring that essential helicopter parts are not just available – but immediately accessible.
Alpine Air Support – staying on the ground should never be an option.

This edition is bursting at the seams with articles from all corners of the special missions sector. We have features on the California wildfires that ravaged the state last year, what the cost–benefit analysis looks like for single-engine rotorcraft and autorotations, how the mission dictates the modification needed to the platform, and what can be done to further prevent the problems associated with inadvertent entry into instrument meteorological conditions.
