Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation has delivered three VVIP S-92 helicopters to the Royal Thai Air Force, introducing the first high-end LifePort medical system into an S-92 aircraft. Sikorsky helicopters have been in use by Thailand military forces since 1996 including those being flown by the Royal Thai Navy, which flies Seahawk helicopters and S-76 helicopters. In addition, the Royal Thai Army flies UH-60L Black Hawk helicopters. The latest delivery of S-92 helicopters marks the first Sikorsky products for the Royal Thai Air Force.

The S-92 aircraft are high-level VVIP aircraft, with the noteworthy distinction of having the first installation of a high-end LifePort medical system in an S-92 helicopter. The helicopters were delivered in April and have begun extensive training at Lop Buri Air Base which will last for approximately six months.

“These aircraft will be used for the Head of State mission. The customer specifically required an S-92 helicopter, recognising the safety and reliability of this aircraft and its track record of serving many other Heads of State,” said Carey Bond, President of Sikorsky Global Helicopters.
