India Heats Up For Enstrom
Menominee, MI, February 18, 2009
– Enstrom Helicopter Corp. and Monarch Aviation are
excited to announce the sale of 2 more 480B turbine
helicopters to India.
The first helicopter was sold to Mr. Ashok Sawhny,
President of Monarch International Aviation (MIA), and
will be used by Monarch as a demonstrator as well as for
commercial use.
The stunning silver and red helicopter is equipped with
a factory air-conditioner for the hot Indian climate; as
well as partial leather seats for VIP luxury. The
second helicopter was sold to Orissa Stevedores Ltd.,
and will be used for corporate transport.
Monarch Aviation has proven especially adept at
navigating India’s unique paperwork requirements and
regulations. “Mr. Sawhny was the first private
individual to receive a No Objection Certificate from
Min of Civil Aviation to operate the helicopter
services on Non-schedule Operators Permit (NSOP) in
India,” says Enstrom’s Director of Sale & Marketing, Mr.
Tracy Biegler. “This means he can use the helicopter
for passenger charter use and demonstration purposes.
We hope that this will pave the way for future private
helicopter ownership in India.”
Monarch International Aviation sees much more potential
beyond these next two aircraft. “There are a lot of
people in India, but only a handful of helicopters,”
says Group Captain M.K. Labroo, CEO of Monarch
International . “The market must grow, and it is
growing. We are seeing a progressive demand for both
turbine helicopters and piston trainers. Enstrom’s are
low cost and have the requisite performance necessary
for our demanding environment. This is making them very
popular. Further, they can be delivered just within
three months of their booking.
.Monarch International is an international business and
trading company, specializing in helicopters, raw
materials, machinery, and travel. For more information
