Operational possibilities

Peace support operations are becoming more and more important. Important personalities from Switzerland and abroad are quickly and safely airlifted during state visits or conventions and conferences in Switzerland. Within the context of international cooperation relating to peace support and humanitarian actions the variety of operational possibilities are convincingly apparent. Thus in 1999 the Super Puma clearly proved its worth from all points of view during a four-month relief operation on behalf of the UNHCR in Albania. All transport tasks such as supply flights to refugee camps or evacuation of sick and wounded persons were carried out there to satisfaction.
