Japan's coast guard has ordered four S-76D helicopters from Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation and its local partner Mitsubishi.
The Japanese coast guard has flown legacy models of the S-76 and the new, medium-sized utility aircraft are to replace helicopters damaged as a result of last year's tsunami.
"The S-76 helicopter has performed well for the Japan coast guard through the years, with the S-76C, S76C+ and S-76C++ models each delivering a consistently high standard of reliability and safety that Sikorsky customers have come to expect," said Christophe Nurit, Sikorsky vice president of Sales, Asia.
