30 years of confidence renewed
Today Eurocopter Mexico announced a signature for five EC145s with an option for five additional machines with its long-standing Mexican customer, Transportes Aéreos Pegaso. Deliveries of the EC145 are set to begin as early as April of this year. The helicopters will be used for transportation missions for the Mexican government’s electricity company CFE (Comisión Federal de Electricidad).
During the signing, Vice President of Commercial Programs Joseph Saporito, Eurocopter Mexico CEO Serge Durand and EC45 Program Director Manfred Merk thanked Mr. Enrique Zepeda Navarro, Director General of Pegaso, for the company’s thirty-year loyalty to Eurocopter products and congratulated Pegaso for reaching the 6,000 flight-hour mark with one of their EC145s - a world first.
Pegaso, which operates one of the biggest Eurocopter fleets in Latin America, performs passenger and equipment transportation to the oil platforms in the Gulf of Mexico. Its exclusively Eurocopter fleet includes 2 EC130s, 2 EC135s, 6 EC145s, 5 BK117 C1s, 2 BK117 B2s, 1 BO105 CBS and 1 EC155 B1.
Last year at Heli-Expo, Eurocopter congratulated Pegaso for being Eurocopter Mexico’s first customer to acquire the EC155 B1.
