Sikorsky has delivered an S-300C
helicopter to LD Aviation Prague s.r.o. in the Czech Republic. LD
Aviation Prague is a sales distributor for Sikorsky Global
Helicopters Light Helicopter Division products in the Czech and
Slovak Republics and Hungary. The new helicopter will join two
other S-300C helicopters at EHC Service s.r.o. in Presov, Slovak
Republic. It will be used for training and pipeline and powerline
monitoring. EHC Service also rents helicopters and pilots to the
Slovak Ministry of Interior to support border monitoring.
LD Aviation Prague has provided commercial and military aviation
services since 1994. Slovakia, a country of 5.4 million, has 25
registered civil helicopters. "The S-300C helicopter is a
recognized leader among single engine helicopters in Slovakia,"
said Zdenek Fiser of LD Aviation Prague.
The S-300C helicopter's versatility in a broad range of operations,
from law enforcement and utility patrol to lift operations, makes
it a good fit for the EHC fleet. In addition, the S-300C helicopter
operates throughout the world in many demanding roles including
military patrol, power line/pipeline patrol, commercial and
military flight training, ranching, external load operations,
animal surveys, aerial photography and personal
transportation.
Sikorsky Global Helicopters, a Sikorsky company, comprises
current Sikorsky platforms S-76, S-92 and H-92 helicopters; light
helicopter platforms, the S-300c, S-300 CBi, S-333 and S-434
