Erickson Air-Crane Incorporated EAC (“Erickson” or “the Company”), a
leading global provider of aviation services to a diverse mix of commercial
and government customers, and the vertically-integrated manufacturer and
operator of the powerful heavy-lift Erickson S-64 Aircrane helicopter,
announced today that it has won an extension to its prime contract with
USTRANSCOM (U.S. Transportation Command) to provide essential services in
support of overseas operations in Afghanistan.
The award was made to Evergreen Helicopters (“EHI”), a recently acquired and
now wholly owned subsidiary of Erickson. Under the contract, the Company will
provide multiple aircraft, pilots and ground crews for both passenger and
cargo transport services in support of current operations. The total value of
the contract extension is approximately $24 million; the Company noted the
award derives its funding from portions of the Defense budget not subject to
sequestration.
