Sikorsky has delivered an S-300C helicopter to LD Aviation Prague s.r.o. in the Czech Republic. LD Aviation Prague is a sales distributor for Sikorsky Global Helicopters Light Helicopter Division products in the Czech and Slovak Republics and Hungary. The new helicopter will join two other S-300C helicopters at EHC Service s.r.o. in Presov, Slovak Republic. It will be used for training and pipeline and powerline monitoring. EHC Service also rents helicopters and pilots to the Slovak Ministry of Interior to support border monitoring.
 
LD Aviation Prague has provided commercial and military aviation services since 1994. Slovakia, a country of 5.4 million, has 25 registered civil helicopters. "The S-300C helicopter is a recognized leader among single engine helicopters in Slovakia," said Zdenek Fiser of LD Aviation Prague.
 
The S-300C helicopter's versatility in a broad range of operations, from law enforcement and utility patrol to lift operations, makes it a good fit for the EHC fleet. In addition, the S-300C helicopter operates throughout the world in many demanding roles including military patrol, power line/pipeline patrol, commercial and military flight training, ranching, external load operations, animal surveys, aerial photography and personal transportation. 

Sikorsky Global Helicopters, a Sikorsky company, comprises current Sikorsky platforms S-76, S-92 and H-92 helicopters; light helicopter platforms, the S-300c, S-300 CBi, S-333 and S-434 helicopters; and all operations of Keystone Helicopter Corp. and Associated Aircraft Group (AAG).
