The Board of Directors of MSH (Marenco Swisshelicopter AG) welcomes André Borschberg as new Member. André will join the Board as a non-executive Director with immediate effect, subject to confirmation at MSH’s next shareholders’ meeting in July.

The former Swiss Air Force jet and helicopter pilot and cofounder of the Solar Impulse project, the first ever roundthe-world solar flight, will bring his passion for aviation, his pioneering spirit and managerial expertise to the MSH Board of Directors.

André Borschberg: “In the global aviation landscape, MSH’s development and roll-out of a next generation helicopter made in Switzerland is a landmark project of our time. As an aviation enthusiast and as a Swiss, I am excited and proud to become part of the MSH venture.”

Philippe Harache, Chairman of the Board of Directors: “It is a pleasure to have André joining the team. As a non-executive Director of MSH, he will not only exercise overview of the company, but we will also benefit from his strategic guidance on MSH’s path to becoming the first full-fledged Swiss global helicopter provider and manufacturer.”
