helicopter. A second EC225 is due to arrive before the end of the
year. The two new EC225 helicopters will reinforce our existing
helicopter fleet and allow us to intensify our activity in the
booming oil and gas market in Vietnam.”

The delivery of the EC225 to SSFC this year will increase
SSFC’s fleet to 8. The purchase of the EC225 is proof of
SSFC’s confidence in Eurocopter’s long-range
twin-engine helicopter. With the introduction of the long-range
EC225, SSFC is able to provide its customers with better services
in terms of comfort, vibration, speed and payload. The newest
addition to the Super Puma helicopter family, the EC225 benefits
from the Super Puma’s long experience in oil and gas industry
and is the reference for offshore operations today.
