Following its participation at the 2017 Heli Expo, Marenco Swisshelicopter has reached a new commercial milestone with the 101st engagement signed in Dallas for the SKYe SH09 helicopter.

With this seventh participation at the US event, the MSH team has been able to witness the continued interest and strong motivation of the market to get the latest testing and development news, all eager to start operating the SKYe SH09 helicopter in their respective environments.

The additional orders taken in Dallas were signed with various owners and operators from four continents, with the latest signatures destined to undisclosed clients from southern and western USA. Chief commercial officer, Mathias Senes, proudly indicated that this team achievement confirmed the saying about Texas, where everything is bigger, also applied to the Swiss-made helicopter.

In preparation for the show, MSH ordered a special paint work for the aircraft as a centrepiece. The result was an astonishing head-turning dual livery bearing the colours of Air Zermatt and Alpinlift Helikopter, two of the launch customers for the Swiss SKYe SH09 helicopter.

Interest was extremely high for the 2.5 ton class multirole aircraft with visitors gathering around the helicopter from the first minute of the exhibition, all convinced by the outstanding performance characteristics, the overall modernity and adaptability to its operating roles, which make the SH09 the next generation helicopter platform.
