EUROCOPTER HAS signed a contract for the sale of two BO105 CBS/EC Super Five helicopters and the lease of a third to Russia's disaster-response ministry, EMERCOM.
The ministry already operates two BO105s, which it acquired a year ago. Like these, the new helicopters will also be used as air ambulances and for search and rescue
The contract was signed at the show, where EMERCOM displayed an Ilyushin Il-76, which it uses to transport its helicopters to disaster areas. This aircraft was to take the first of the new batch of BO105s back to Russia.
