Ultimate Heli announces inclusion of twin engine Eurocopter AS355N into fleet

Ultimate Heli is pleased to announce the inclusion of twin engine Eurocopter AS355N into its fleet.

The Eurocopter AS355N (Twin Squirrel) is a twin-engine light helicopter. With excellent handling, robustness and ease of maintenance, the Eurocopter AS355N incorporates twin-engine added reliability and performance - making it ideal for a wide variety of missions, as well as demanding operations over water, rugged terrain and urban areas. Renowned for its low operation and maintenance costs, this helicopter benefits from the reliability and safety of its two Turbomeca Arrius 1A engines, and is equipped with a full authority digital engine control (FADEC) system.

The Eurocopter AS355N will be used as a multi-role helicopter that will fulfill various roles such as passenger transport, sling operations and mine support flying.

Ultimate Heli is proud to be the first commercial operator of the Eurocopter AS355N in Southern Africa.
