JAPAN<br />
AgustaWestland and Kanematsu Corporation announced they have been awarded a contract<br />
by the Japan National <strong>Police</strong> Agency (JNPA) to supply two GrandNew law enforcement<br />
light twin helicopters as part of an on-going programme to modernise the <strong>Police</strong> helicopter<br />
fleet. The two aircraft will be operated in Saga and Tottori prefectures.<br />
The order represents the first sale of GrandNew helicopters to the Japan National <strong>Police</strong><br />
Agency. The order will bring the number of AgustaWestland light twin helicopters operating<br />
in the Japanese law enforcement market to 25 and continues AgustaWestland’s growing<br />
share of the Japanese light twin engine market.<br />
Orders for more than 300 helicopters from the Grand series have been placed by over 180<br />
customers in almost 40 countries worldwide.<br />
SMURD: The Romanian Ministry of Health’s Eurocopter EC135 helicopter fleet will be increased<br />
with two additional helicopters ordered as part of a framework contract signed last<br />
year covering a total six of the twin-engine rotorcraft<br />
This new agreement will lead to deliveries of the latest two EC135s during <strong>2012</strong>, and provides<br />
follow-on to an initial helicopter ordered and delivered last year in the framework contract<br />
with the Eurocopter Romania affiliate. The rotorcraft are to be fitted with an emergency<br />
medical services kit provided by Austria’s Air Ambulance Technology. [EC]
