Sikorsky Aerospace Services has announced the signing of a “blanket ordering agreement” with the Brunei ministry of defense for the support of recently ordered S-70i Black Hawk helicopters. The five-year agreement covers those aircraft that will be delivered next year to the Royal Brunei Air Force (RBAF) as well as those that are currently in service.

“This support contract gives the RBAF the flexibility to streamline procurement of parts and services,” said David Adler, president of Sikorsky Aerospace Services. Brunei placed an order for 12 S-70is in December, and deliveries of these new aircraft are scheduled to begin in 2013.
