Enstrom Helicopter says that their contract with the Indonesian Police has fulfilled all the requirements of their EXIM loan agreement and is "in full effect."

“With the operability of the EXIM loan, we now have funding and are in full production mode to support the Indonesian National Police contract,” said Enstrom President Jerry Mullins. “Two aircraft are already flying in Indonesia and two are en route.” The remaining aircraft in the 18-helicopter order will be delivered in the upcoming months.

The Indonesian contract is an important international endorsement placing Enstrom as a top competitor building quality helicopters for police agencies around the world. The 480B’s performance and price more than fill all the requirements to perform the police’s important security role. At home, the deal means more jobs and an increased production schedule for the plant.

Founded in 1959, Enstrom Helicopter Corporation manufactures a complete line of helicopters including the three-place, piston-powered F28F and 280FX, and the turbine-powered 480B. The 480B is available as a three-place advanced trainer or as a three- to five-place VIP aircraft. For law enforcement applications, the 480B is known as the Guardian and the F28F is called the Sentinel.
