Good Performance for Agusta in 2000
Agusta SpA, a Finmeccanica Company, will be present at Heli-Expo 2001 on the heels of another year of growth. The 2000 turnover exceeded Euro 720 million, with export share accounting for more than 60% of the total.
The main contributors to the turnover are represented by services provided to customers, research activities and the hand-over of 69 helicopters, 16 of them having been delivered to the military sector and 53 to the civil one.
The order book at year-end stood at more than Euro 3,800 million, with export orders accounting for about 70% of total order backlog. In 2000 A 109E Power reached 100th production aircraft and enjoyed an outstanding commercial success, while A 119 Koala started its operational activities in South America and the Far East.
At Heli-Expo 2001, inside the Anaheim Convention Center (California), the Agusta exhibit booth, Exhibit Hall D, Booth N. 100, will feature A 109E Power (s/n 11087) and A 119 Koala (s/n 14006).
Bell/Agusta Aerospace Company will be also present with the exhibition, in the static display area, of the mock-up of both AB 139 and BA 609 collaborative products.
