"The GrandNew's operational capabilities, second to none in the light twin class, will greatly benefit Genel Havacilik's operations," said Emilio Dalmasso, Senior Vice President Commercial Business Unit, AgustaWestland.

"The entire range of AgustaWestland products shares a common dedication to best quality and reliability standards as well as the best performance available today," said Ali Sulyak, CEO of Genel Havacilik. "So it is small wonder we selected the GrandNew as the aircraft of choice in its class to satisfy our requirements to operate in the most demanding hot and high conditions of Turkey and cover the long distances of Turkey with extended range and high cruise speed. Thanks to its cutting edge technology this type will enhance our operations and provide a leap forward in capability."
