Ukraine Takes Flight With Enstrom
Menominee, MI, February 18, 2009
– Enstrom Helicopter Corp. recently delivered it’s first
480B destined for Ukraine to Rotor Ukraine, LLC,
Enstrom’s newest dealer in Europe. The aircraft will be
used as both a sales demonstrator and for commercial
purposes such as tours and photography. A delegation
from Ukraine, incuding Rotor Ukraine Director Valerii
Gromov, recently visited the factory for pilot and
maintenance training. Rotor Ukraine will be fully
equipped to offer sales and service for Enstrom piston
and turbine helicopters throughout the Ukraine and other
Eastern European countries.
“Ukraine is a very exciting market for us”, said Jerry
Mullins, Enstrom President and CEO. “With a number of
their existing Russian-built aircraft becoming
unserviceable, or too expensive to operate, we are
seeing a lot of interest in our turbine helicopters.
The 480B is highly capable, but inexpensive and
economical to operate. It really fits their needs
well.” With nearly 70% of its helicopters going
overseas, securing new dealerships like Rotor Ukraine
has been a vital part of Enstrom’s recent growth.
Having a demonstrator in the region will allow Enstrom
to penetrate even further into the Eastern European
markets.
Rotor
Ukraine is located in the city of Nikolayev. For more
