Model First Joined The Czech Police Aviation Department In
2004
The Czech Police Aviation Department (CPAD) is celebrating two
key milestones this month: its 75th year of service, and the
10,000th flight hour logged by the department's Eurocopter EC135
helicopter fleet.
With the CPAD's broad operational responsibilities - which range
from aerial surveillance and emergency medical airlift to
firefighting and search & rescue - its eight EC135s have
demonstrated their flexibility in performing police and parapublic
missions since entering service with the department in 2004.
"The Czech Police Aviation Department was the first law
enforcement organization in Eastern Europe to select Eurocopter
helicopters for this type of mission. We are particularly proud to
recognize the agency - with whom we have established a true
partnership - as it celebrates these two important milestones,"
said Olivier Michalon, Eurocopter Vice President
Eastern-Mediterranean Europe & Central Asia.
Eurocopter has established a close industrial relationship in
the Czech Republic since 2003, which includes contracting the
in-country production of components that include hardware for
Ecureuil helicopters and doors for Airbus jetliners. This work is
assigned to both large and small Czech companies, supporting the
country's industrial growth and contributing to the development of
its economy.
In addition to the CPAD's eight EC135s, the agency also operates
two Eurocopter BO-105 helicopters as part of its rotary-wing
aircraft fleet.
