BERLIN (Dispatches) -- Lockheed Martin Corp, the largest U.S. arms maker and parent of Sikorsky, has begun to study the possibility of selling commercial helicopters to Iran, but said the company still needed guidance from the U.S. government.
Nathalie Previte, vice-president of sales and marketing for Sikorsky, said the company had received numerous inquiries from existing customers, including leasing companies and operators, interested in possible helicopter operations in Iran. Sikorsky's S-76 and longer-range S-92 commercial helicopters could be options for Iran, Previte said.
