Helistar Orders Three More EC145 Helicopters

Eurocopter  Strengthens Its Colombian Market Presence

Colombian helicopter company Helistar has signed a contract with Eurocopter de Mexico to purchase three EC145s. When delivered, the fleet of Colombia's largest helicopter company will expand to include seven EC145s. The first two additional aircraft will be delivered in 2012, followed by the third in 2013. Helistar currently has a fleet of 18 aircraft, providing services for the country's leading energy companies.

Among the broad spectrum of missions offered by the company, Helistar specializes in passenger transport for the oil and gas sector - which currently is experiencing strong growth within Colombia. This new purchase follows the finalization of a five-year services contract between Helistar and the Colombian oil company Ecopetrol.

The EC145 is designed for medium-range flights with 8 to 10 passengers. It is in service with many oil and gas companies in various countries in the Americas, including Argentina, Mexico and Colombia. Eurocpter says it is the only helicopter of its type that can seat up to eight passengers.
