Starlite was Airbus Helicopter's launch customer for the new AS 332C1e helicopter, the first of which was delivered in November. Starlite is working in partnership with Airbus Helicopters and Vector on programs to boost the utility helicopter market.

''Vector understands our needs and operational demands as we continue to expand our foot print with our Super Puma fleet.
