Sikorsky delivers passenger chopper to Maharashtra

New Delhi : US aircraft major Sikorsky Friday delivered a mid-sized commercial utility aircraft to the Maharashtra government for transporting senior state leaders and bureaucrats.
"The helicopter's versatility, reliability, safety and operating cost efficiencies make it ideally suited for transportation of senior leaders, including heads of state," a Sikorsky statement said.
The S-76C++ joins a growing fleet of Sikorsky helicopters operating in India, including others in the S-76 family of choppers. The Maharashtra government had, earlier this year, shortlisted the helicopter after a detailed and intense technical evaluation process and signed a contract for the delivery of one machine.
