Eurocopter Expands Into South West China

Signs Purchase Agreement With Xilin Fengteng

Eurocopter has made its first inroads into the South Western region of China with a landmark agreement signed with Xilin Fengteng for the sale of two helicopters – one EC120 B and one EC135 – for use in multiple general aviation missions.

A signing ceremony was held on Sunday 20 November in Guanghan City between Sichuan Xilin Fengteng General Aviation Co., Ltd. and Eurocopter China for the order of two helicopters – one EC120 B light single-engine and one EC135 light twin-engine helicopter – to be delivered by mid-2012. As a newly registered operator, these will be Xilin Fengteng’s first two helicopters, for use in multiple missions including aerial photography, passenger transport, forest fire-fighting, business charter, emergency medical service, pilot training, etc.

Based in Deyang, Sichuan Province, Xilin Fengteng became Eurocopter China’s first customer in South West China. This success is a result of Eurocopter China’s expansion efforts that included the opening of the Chengdu liaison office for the South Western region in early 2011 – one of its seven offices around the country.

“We have great respect for Xilin Fengteng’s long-term strategy to become a key player in general aviation in the South Western region,” noted Eurocopter China CEO, Bruno Boulnois. “Eurocopter is the only foreign manufacturer to have a subsidiary in China, with an office in Chengdu to provide proximity services to emerging customers. Our common vision paved the way for this successful ‘marriage’ where we will work hand-in-hand with Xilin Fengteng to provide a one-stop solution for our customers’ general aviation needs in Sichuan Province.”

Eurocopter has an existing cooperation with the Civil Aviation Flight University of China (CAFUC) in Guanghan to develop a series of helicopter training programs. This acquisition contract will further reinforce Eurocopter’s presence in Sichuan Province and the South West of China. “This union bodes well for the future of general aviation in this region," said Lin Xiaobo, Chairman of Xilin Fengteng. "We have always been keen admirers of Eurocopter and its products; this acquisition marks a great start for us and we look forward to bringing this relationship to a higher level in the near future.” (Image provided by Eurocopter)
