Eurocopter to push vital role of helicopters at Abu Dhabi expo

Eurocopter is showcasing its expertise in the business aviation and private segment and will highlight the important role of helicopters as a vital complement to business jets by being the ideal “first mile, last mile” solution.
“Be it for business or leisure, few can afford to waste precious time for travel in today’s world. The flexibility offered by helicopters in take-off and landing is an extremely attractive proposition, and provides that crucial missing link in end-to-end transport solution” said Loïc Porcheron Eurocopter's vice president for Middle East and Africa.

On Wednesday afternoon at GCAS a conference on the role of the helicopter is taking place as part of the Air Expo event.

Eurocopter has been very successful in the VIP market with more than 500 rotor craft sold but is keen to get the message to the Midde East market.

Trademark features of Eurocopter VIP-configured helicopters that have been such worldwide successes include the exceptionally spacious cabin, the large side-sliding doors for passengers’ easy access, the substantial luggage storage space loaded easily through the rear clamshell doors, the spectacular view from a generously windowed cabin, the low noise and vibration levels, as well as state-of-the-art technology that delivers outstanding performance in terms of range, speed, reliability and safety.
In addition, Eurocopter also introduced the Stylence family of helicopters, where aesthetics, ergonomics and advanced technology were merged to provide the ultimate flying experience. Stylence – a combination of style and silence – incorporates extra-thick interior insulation and special flooring to further lower the noise and vibration levels, in-flight office and telecommunications equipment, and luxurious interior with high quality leather upholstery, making the ride truly relaxing and enjoyable. The Stylence package is offered on five different models currently – EC120, EC130, AS350 B2/B3, AS355 NP as well as EC145.
