ORMA LANTZ, EXECUTIVEVICE PRESIDENT of airframer sales and marketing with Safran Helicopter Engines USA, died on Mar. 27, 2025. Prior to joining Safran, Lantz built a distinguished


career at Boeing, where she started in 1989 as an administrative associate before advancing into supervisory roles and tran- sitioning to Labinal Power Systems (now Safran Electrical & Power) in 2003. At Safran, Lantz excelled in management roles, culminating in her appointment as director of sales and mar- keting in 2008. In 2015, she completed a two-year international assignment with Safran in Paris, France, before returning to the company in Texas. As a champion of women in aerospace, she was an active


member of the International Aerospace Womens Association (IAWA), where she served on numerous committees, facilitated panel discussions at IAWA events, and hosted VERTICON (for- merly HAI HELI-EXPO®) Connect events annually in the Safran booth. Lantz’s dedication to the aerospace industry, enthusiastic personality, and genuine connections with


colleagues and business partners earned her widespread respect and admiration. She had an exceptional ability to make others feel valued, uplifting people around her by recognizing their achievements and pro- viding steadfast support during challenging times. As an organ donor whose generous gift saved multiple lives, Norma’s compassion extended even


beyond her life. She will be missed, but her spirit, kindness, and joyful energy will live on through her family, her colleagues, and the countless people she touched.
