"The GrandNew's operational
capabilities, second to none in the light twin class, will greatly
benefit Genel Havacilik's operations," said Emilio Dalmasso, Senior

"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
