Our Story:
Founded in 1988 by Bill Leyburne, Rotor Services Limited has built a reputation for technical excellence, reliability, and customer-focused support within the aviation industry. Operating as a Transport Canada Approved Maintenance Organization (AMO 51-91), the company has supported aircraft owners and operators across Canada and internationally, with project experience throughout the United States, Europe, and the Caribbean.
Following a change of ownership in 2025, Rotor Services entered an exciting new chapter as part of the Great Lakes Helicopter group of companies. Operating from facilities adjacent to the Region of Waterloo International Airport, Rotor Services is now an authorized Robinson Helicopter dealer and service centre, providing aircraft sales, maintenance, parts support, and acquisition services for the Robinson product line. To support continued growth, a new state-of-the-art hangar facility is scheduled to open in 2026, further expanding our capabilities and customer service offerings.
Today, Rotor Services supports a diverse range of aircraft, including Robinson helicopters, Bell 206 series, MD500s, gyroplanes, AS350s, and EC130s. From routine maintenance and inspections to specialized field operations and international projects, our experienced team remains committed to delivering safe, dependable, and professional aviation solutions wherever our customers operate.
