maximize the operational effectiveness of their aircraft.

The appointment comes as the first Russian customer of the AW139
takes delivery of its aircraft. Fifteen AW139s have already been
sold in Russian and the CIS countries in just two years. Two of
them have been purchased by STC Rossiya, the Russian operator in
charge for managing the Presidential fleet, and are expected to be
delivered by early 2012. A final assembly line in Russia for the
AW139 civil helicopter is being set up to be run by HeliVert, a
Russian Helicopters and AgustaWestland Joint Venture. The final
assembly line is aimed at satisfying the requirements of the civil
markets in Russia and CIS countries primarily. Thanks to its
unparalleled features and capabilities, the AW139 is perfectly
suited not only for VIP/corporate transport purposes in Russia but
also to meet stringent and evolving requirements from major
operators and in the parapublic market.
