November 15, 2012 By Carey Fredericks
Nov. 15, 2012, Orlando, Fla. - Since the beginning of 2012, Eurocopter has booked 56 aircraft, including 24 from American Eurocopter, for business and VIP use, with the sale of more than 500 helicopters in those markets over the past five years.
Eurocopter partnered with French luxury goods manufacturer Hermès to evolve the EC135 Hermès helicopter version for discerning passengers.
Offering 12 different models, ranging from light single-engine, light and medium twin-engine helicopters to heavy twin-engine rotorcraft, Eurocopter continues to meet the demands of private owners, small- and medium-sized enterprises and multi-national corporations. Clients may also choose from a variety of interior packages with seating capacities of four to 12 passengers in VIP configurations, providing air transportation solutions to a wide range of customers.
“The takeoff and landing flexibility offered by helicopters provides the crucial missing link for end-to-end transport solutions,” said Patrice Royer, Eurocopter’s Director of Business and Private Aviation. “Our helicopters are recognized the world over for their state-of-the-art technology and luxurious interiors, and are ergonomically designed to provide the environment of well-equipped in-flight offices for the ultimate comfort of business travelers.”
The commitment to the business and private aviation markets also is demonstrated by the constant innovation and enhancement of the Eurocopter fleet. The company’s latest and most innovative models – including the EC130 T2, the EC145 T2 and the all-new 7-ton-class EC175 with seating for 16 passengers – are all available in VIP travelling to complement the existing Eurocopter Dauphin and Super Puma rotorcraft in the medium- and heavy-lift families.
In response to increasing demand for an even more unique travelling experience, Eurocopter partnered with Hermès and Mercedes Benz, to create the EC135 Hermès (known as L'Hélicoptère par Hermès) and the EC145 Mercedes-Benz Style. These two highly exclusive designer helicopters have been specially created for today’s world most discerning passengers.
