Enstrom Helicopter recently delivered the first five-place 480B destined for Turkey to Istanbul-based Enstrom dealer Kaan Air. Enstrom handed over the turbine-powered helicopter–which features Garmin avionics, a leather interior and a photo door–to Kaan Air Capt. Muzaffer Atici at its factory in Menominee, Mich. Kaan Air plans to use the helicopter as a sales demonstrator and for commercial operations, including aerial tours and photography.

According to Enstrom president and CEO Jerry Mullins, the delivery to the Turkish operator shows the strides the manufacturer is making in international markets. In fact, more than 70 percent of new Enstrom helicopters sold in the last year went to overseas operators.
