Having the TransCube located at the hanger reduced unnecessary downtime—around 30 minutes per mission—by removing the need to travel to and from the local airport. In addition to time and efficiency improvements, the on-site fuel led to significant savings in maintenance costs over the life of each helicopter, and a direct cost-saving of around R 4,255 ($265) in jet fuel fees a time. The helicopter service’s Aviation Base Manager stated, “There are savings in time, fuel and maintenance cycles,” because of the TransCube.
