Albania’s defence ministry has signed a €10 million ($12 million) contract with Eurocopter Deutschland for the modification and delivery of 12 surplus MBB BO105 light helicopters, and for the provision of training services for three years. Six of the aircraft are expected to be operated by the Albanian air force, with the remainder to be allocated to the nation’s health and interior ministries. The Albanian air force is also in the process of receiving 15 surplus Agusta AB205 and AB206 helicopters from the Italian army.
