Signs Two New Contracts At Le Bourget
Calling the event a sign of its rapidly growing business in
Malaysia, on Monday Eurocopter signed two new contracts in the
presence of the Malaysian Minister of Transport Malaysia,
Dato’ Seri Chan Kong Choy.
The first contract is with Hornbill Skyways Sdn Bhd
(“Hornbill”). It is a Memorandum of Agreement for three
new EC135 helicopters. Hornbill, the largest helicopter operator in
Eastern Malaysia, owns a fleet of 11 aircraft, including two
EC135s. The new helicopters will be mainly used for passenger/VIP
transport.
The second contract is with Integrated Training & Services
Sdn Bhd (IT&S), the leader in helicopter training programs in
Malaysia and South East Asia region, for two EC120B helicopters.
Eurocopter says the purchase of the new helos is part of the
company’s expansion plan and also to meet the demand in
helicopter training programs, since IT&S secured training
contracts from the government sector -- namely Malaysian Army
Aviation, The Royal Malaysian Navy, Royal Malaysia Police and Fire
& Rescue Department.
The company is also in the process of negotiating a training
program for Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency which involve
pilot and crewmen rescue training. Currently, IT&S operates
three EC120 helicopters for training at Integrated Aviation Academy
in Ipoh, Perak.
Eurocopter also confirmed its participation as a main exhibitor
in the Lima, Langkawi Airshow, which will take place in December
this year.
Incorporated in August 2002, Eurocopter Malaysia holds the
largest market share in the aviation industry in Malaysia. A total
of 13 types of Eurocopter helicopters are certified in
Malaysia.
