Patria to supply wide-ranging helicopter services to the Swedish Armed
Forces. |

The
Swedish Armed Forces Logistics, FMLOG, has selected Patria as the prime
supplier of technical systems and maintenance support for the Swedish
Armed Forces’ helicopters. The contract is an expansion of the current
technical services and support agreement with the Swedish Armed Forces.
The three-year contract has an option for additional two years. |

 The Swedish Armed Forces have recently taken its nine (9) Vertol 107/CH 46 Sea Knight helicopters (Hkp 4) out of operation. |

The
agreement includes a broad spectrum of support services for all the helicopter
systems currently in operation and systems coming into operation in the
Swedish Armed Forces. Patria provides support for various helicopter models
such as HKP10 (Super Puma), HKP14 (NH90), HKP15 (Agusta 109) and HKP16
(Black Hawk), as well as the models to be phased out such as HKP4 (Boeing
Vertol) and HKP9 (Bo105). The agreement complements the Swedish Armed Forces’ own operations in main operating bases as well as in forward operating bases. The wide-ranging services provided by Patria vary from administration to sales of spare parts and special services within the military helicopter support. “This agreement is an important step for us in order to show Patria's capability in supporting military programs with cost effective solutions. We've learned to appreciate the significance of the ‘best value for money’-requirement with demanding customers like the Swedish Armed Forces”,says Lassi Matikainen, President of Patria Aviation |
