Eurocopter South East Asia (ESEA), Singapore based subsidiary of the world’s number one
helicopter manufacturer, and National Utility Helicopters (NUH) are pleased to announce the
contract signature of two EC145 helicopters today.
The two aircraft ordered are to be delivered at the end of 2008 and 2009. They will be used in

This contract is proof of Eurocopter’s successful imprint on Indonesia’s growing public and
private market. Latest successes include recent signatures for three corporate AS 350
