Komala Indonesia said, “VNH South’s Pilots had excellent performance in fire fighting flights and well coordinating with other teams from Ukraine, Singapore… in fire expanding areas. Efficiency in water bombing had reached high level to ensure the fire isolated. Besides that, VNH South’s technicians and ground team were always ready to handle technical issues to optimize flying time and enable the helicopters’s continuos performance without cease”. Obviously, safety and service quality are always VNH South’s top priority no matter where the services are carried out.

“Signing contracts for 02 consecutive years with PT. Komala Indonesia and receiving customer’s positive appraisals prove our right direction. This chance has let us enhance operations efficiency of helicopter fleet, consolidate the trust of our regional customers and partners”. said Capt. Kieu Dang Hung – Director of VNH South.
