Sikorsky Australia

What Sikorsky Australia does

Sikorsky Australia is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lockheed Martin Corporation, established in 1996 and headquartered in Pinkenba, Queensland. It operates as Australia's dedicated helicopter support organisation for military rotary-wing aircraft, with a headcount of between 251 and 500 employees. The company's stated mission is to deliver world-class helicopter support, anchored to the Australian Defence Force as the primary customer and the MH-60 Romeo as the core platform.

The service portfolio spans four integrated lines: Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) executed at world-class maintenance facilities; logistics support delivered through the Perth Forward Stocking Location and embedded Squadron Support Teams; Part 147 approved aviation maintenance training; and on-site squadron-level operational sustainment. Together these constitute a full lifecycle support model rather than a transactional depot service, with technical and regulatory backing drawn from the parent Sikorsky and Lockheed Martin organisations.

The business model is a contract-based defence sustainment operation. Revenue is generated through government-to-business procurement contracts with the Australian Defence Force and, to a limited extent, other defence and industry customers, covering MRO work, training delivery, and managed logistics services. Pricing is established through government procurement mechanisms rather than commercial markets, and revenue is not publicly disclosed given the company's status as a non-listed subsidiary of a US-headquartered prime contractor.
