Lotsa Business Being Signed At EBACE
Sikorsky Aircraft has
concluded position assignment agreements with Premier Aviation
Services Ltd. of Ireland for two S-76D helicopters. This represents
the first European customer for the S-76D, and both aircraft will
be used for VIP and executive transport missions. Premier Aviation
plans to operate its aircraft out of Weston Airport outside
Dublin.
"The success of the S-76™ has been built by meeting the
needs of our customers. We are thrilled that Premier has chosen the
S-76D for their executive transport missions. We are
confident the combination of the S-76D's reliability, comfort,
speed, range and safety will draw more customers in Europe and
elsewhere," said Steve Estill, Sikorsky Vice President of Worldwide
Sales and Chief Marketing Officer.
The launch of the S-76D model was first announced in February
2005 as a series of engine, air vehicle, interior and avionics
upgrades that ensure that the venerable S-76 product line will
remain best-in-class in the corporate VIP, offshore oil, airline,
EMS/ search-and-rescue and law enforcement segments.
Product improvements on the S-76D include new composite main
rotor blades, new quiet tail rotor, rotorcraft icing protection
system (RIPS), an all-new Thales cockpit, and a new Pratt &
Whitney Canada PW210 engine.
More than 220 operators in 59 countries are currently flying
S-76 helicopters. The S-76 fleet has accumulated more than
four million flight hours since the first aircraft was delivered in
1979.
Premier Aviation Services Ltd. is based at Weston Airport west
of Dublin and operates and manages aircraft for numerous VIP and
executive clients in Ireland.
