The U.K.'s royal household has chosen the "low carbon footprint" S-76C++ as its next official engagements helicopter. Sikorsky provided the S-76C+ that the royal family currently uses.

Haughey Air's new Sikorsky S76++ is being put into service after the solving of problems in completing its conversion with the latest in sophisticated instrumentation. The managed aircraft, which replaces an S-76, is being chartered when not in use by its owner. The owner uses the S76++ for business flights around the U.K. and Ireland.
