First Of Six Aircraft Under Government Contract
A ceremony was held in Bucharest Friday for the delivery of an
EC135 helicopter to Romania's Ministry of Health by Eurocopter
Romania. The ceremony was attended by the Romanian Minister of
Health Ladislau Ritli, the Secretary of State in the Romanian
Ministry of Administration and Interior Mihai Capra, His Excellence
Henri Paul from the French Embassy in Romania, His Excellence
Andreas Von Mettenheim from the German Embassy in Romania, as well
as by Jean-Louis Mascle, CEO of Eurocopter Romania and Xavier
Poupardin, Eurocopter Vice President for the EC135 program.
This is the first delivery following a contract that was awarded
to Eurocopter Romania last August. The framework contract foresees
the purchase of up to six helicopters by the Ministry of Health.
The EC135 will be used for emergency medical missions to assist the
general population in Romania. This delivery is part of a
wide-scale program launched by the government to develop its
medical evacuation capabilities, which includes plans to enlarge
its existing fleet.
Ministry of Health already owns two EC135 operated by the
General Aviation Inspectorate of the Ministry of Administration and
Interior (MAI). This new delivery confirms that the EC135 perfectly
meets the stringent requirements of the medical evacuation
missions.
"This is a big day for Eurocopter Romania, as the delivery of
this EC135 illustrates our commitment to designing products in
close cooperation with our customers and to further promoting
development of emergency medical missions," said Mascle. "It is
also additional proof of the confidence the Romanian government has
placed in our subsidiary."
