Euro copter
Euro copter South Africa Ltd was bullish in its market outlook, fore-casting continued growth on the back of a 35% increase in its South African business, driven primarily by countries in the region investing in airborne law-enforcement and civic emergency response capabilities.
Addressing media at AAD, Euro copter Southern Africa Ltd CEO, Fabrice Cagnat said that despite the recession, which has affected the global aerospace industry and rotorcraft sector, Eurocopter has maintained its position as the leading manufacturer with 42.4 per cent of the total market."The proven suitability of our various civil and military products places Euro copter in the prime position to take advantage of the global and African markets resurgence. While corporate and utility sectors have followed the low trend of 2009, demand for helicopters has remained strong in the para-public domain for law enforcement, public safety and environmental protection", added Cagnat.
Euro copter currently supports a fleet of about 240 helicopters operating throughout Southern Africa. Most of these aircraft are in service with the police services in the region, emergency medical rescue organizations, VIP/Corporate operations and utility missions where they are used, for example, in geo-seismic missions, game counting and power line inspection. A number of helicopters are also flown in the tourism/charter market. The company can also count on its recently established Training Academy at Lanseria, near Johannesburg, to further develop business. This Academy provides type rating and technical training for helicopter pilots and engineers form customers across the region. To meet the increased training demand, Eurocopter Southern Africa will employ an additional instructor from 2011. To date, more than 150 pilots and 220 engineering personnel have undergone training at the Academy.
Euro copter Southern Africa continues to provide technical support to customers in the region, having deployed its engineers on more than 80 missions in the past year."Because our helicopters deliver superior performance and are easy to maintain, they are first choice for tough missions, often far from their home base. We are committed to supporting these aircraft and in honoring that commitment, our technical teams often have to service aircraft in some challenging and remote locations, such as the jungles in the Democratic Republic of Congo," said Cagnat.
Euro copter has also demonstrated the 12 seat EC 145 light twin IFR helicopter at AAD as part of a multi-country demonstration tour in the region. Shown in the "Stylence" configuration for VIP, Corporate and business applications, Eurocopter describes the type as the most versatile helicopters in its class and in service around the world in a multitude of missions such as law enforcement, EMS, utility harbor piloting, offshore oils and gas services and VIP/Corporate services. The first African customer, the Gendarmie Royale Maroc took delivery of two EC 145s which are used for a large variety of law enforcement and public service missions such as surveillance, rescue and medical evacuation.
Euro copter Delivers New AS350 B3 Helicopter to Namibia's Police Air wing at AAD
Euro copter delivered an AS350 B3 "Squirrel" to Namibia's fledgling Police Airwing during a ceremony at AAD. This is the Namibian Police Air wings second helicopter to be delivered since its inception in 2009. The helicopter is equipped with advanced crime combating equipment and aids including a stabilized camera and FLIR system, public address system, spotlight, winch and platforms on the skids for intervention unit personnel.
Inspector-General of the Namibia Police Force, Lt –Gen Sebastian Haitota Ndeitunga said: "Namibians like millions of people in other countries around the world, are reaping the benefits of this investment in modern, versatile, reliable and efficient crime-fighting assets such as our AS350 helicopter. We need the right tools and equipment and methods; we fight them with technology. Air support is essential in a country with vast areas where the helicopters are used for rescue and pursuit operations as well as supporting the activities of other ministries such as health and education.
In addition, Eurocopter Southern Africa Ltd has facilitated rotary-wing flight training for two Namibia Police Air wing pilots as Starlight Aviation in Durban and conducted type conversion training for two experienced pilots in Namibia. Euro copter has also sponsored training by Carl Zeiss Optronics for two LEO system operators. The LEO system incorporates a set of day and night optical sensors and cameras, enabling the helicopter crew to conduct surveillance and track and intercept suspects in daylight and in the dark.
