Four brand new BELL-HUEY II helicopters arrived at Sarajevo
Airport today, on a direct cargo flight
from Huntsville in the USA. The total
package includes four helicopters, tools, ground support equipment, spare
parts, 2️ year warranty,
as well as training of the pilots of Bosnia and Herzegovina Air Force and
maintainers operating and performing maintenance on this type of aircraft.
This will increase the readiness of the Armed Forces of
Bosnia and Herzegovina to support civilian authorities to respond to
emergencies and natural disasters, to include medical evacuation, firefighting,
search and rescue, as well as other missions defined by legal framework.
Total package cost is $38.5 million - US
financed $34.2 million while Bosnia and Herzegovina Ministry of Defense
financed $4.3 million.
The official handover of the helicopter for the Bosnia and Herzegovina Armed Forces is planned after the test flights, in the presence of the media and high-ranking officials. We would like to inform the citizens that in the coming days, and as of today, they can expect increased helicopter activity in the area of the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
