Shortly after the devastating earthquake on January 12, Eurocopter decided to participate in the worldwide support of the people of Haiti. Partnering with the Dominican Republic air force, which immediately agreed to provide pilots, Eurocopter donated the services of two helicopters to assist rescue and recovery efforts.

During a four-week period, Eurocopter made available to the Dominican air force and to the nongovernmental organization (NGO) International Medical one AS350B AStar and one AS355F2 TwinStar through Eurocopter’s Dominican customer Aviajet.
“Helicopters have been designed with the vision of bringing a new way to travel and connect places and people,” said Lutz Bertling, president and CEO of Eurocopter. “But here, the helicopter becomes a unique tool, a noble tool being used to save lives.”
