Two AgustaWestland helicopters were presented at the 6th Russian International Business Aviation Exhibition, Jet Expo 2011, held in Moscow from 14 to 16 September – a VIP version of the AW139, and a Grand.
Exclases Holdings – the exclusive distributor of AgustaWestland’s helicopters in Russia and CIS countries – introduced a VIP version of the AW139 which is to be assembled in Russia next year, and the famous Grand which is considered to be the fastest helicopter, to the Russian business community and journalists. The Grand has two speed records: one for a flight from the East Coast to the West Coast of the USA, and one for flight around the world. It is fast and reliable, efficient and comfortable, and has become the standard of a light twin-engine aircraft.
