"The GrandNew's operational
capabilities, second to none in the light twin class, will greatly
benefit Genel Havacilik's operations," said Emilio Dalmasso, Senior
Vice President Commercial Business Unit, AgustaWestland.
"The entire range of AgustaWestland products shares a common
dedication to best quality and reliability standards as well as the
best performance available today," said Ali Sulyak, CEO of Genel
Havacilik. "So it is small wonder we selected the GrandNew as the
aircraft of choice in its class to satisfy our requirements to
operate in the most demanding hot and high conditions of Turkey and
cover the long distances of Turkey with extended range and high
cruise speed. Thanks to its cutting edge technology this type will
