Russian helicopter operator UTair signed an agreement to purchase 15 Eurocopter EC175 medium utility rotorcraft at Heli-Expo yesterday, three years after signing a letter of intent at Heli-Expo 2008 when the aircraft was first introduced. Deliveries of the 16-passgenger EC175 to UTair will commence in 2013 and the order will be completed in 2014.

“This is another important endorsement for the EC175,” said Dr. Lutz Bertling, Eurocopter president and CEO at the signing ceremony in front of a mockup of the helicopter at the company’s display area (Booth No. 4637). “We are committed to justifying UTair’s trust in us.”
