India Heats Up For Enstrom
Enstrom Helicopter Corp. and Monarch Aviation are excited to announce the sale of 2 more 480B turbine helicopters to India.
The first helicopter was sold to Mr. Ashok Sawhny, CEO of Monarch International, and will be used by Monarch as a demonstrator as well as for commercial use.
The stunning silver and red helicopter is equipped with a factory air-conditioner for the hot Indian climate; as well as leather seats for VIP luxury. The second helicopter was sold to Orissa Stevedores Ltd., and will be used for corporate transport.
Monarch Aviation has proven especially adept at navigating India’s unique paperwork requirements and regulations. “Mr. Sawhny was the first private individual to receive a non-scheduled operating certificate in India,” says Enstrom’s Director of Sale & Marketing, Mr. Tracy Biegler. “This means he can use the helicopter for charter use and other personal use. We hope that this will pave the way for future private helicopter ownership in India.”
Monarch Aviation sees much more potential beyond these next two aircraft. “There are a lot of people in India, but only a handful of helicopters,” says Captain M.K. Labroo of Monarch. “The market must grow, and it is growing. We are seeing demand for both turbine helicopters and piston trainers. Enstrom’s are low cost, but they have the performance necessary for our demanding environment. This is making them very popular.”
Monarch International is an international business and trading company, specializing in helicopters, raw materials, machinery, and travel. For more information on Monarch Aviation, please contact Captain M.K. Labroo at helicopters@monarchinternational.biz .
