Lockheed Martin Corp has "no regrets" about buying Sikorsky for $9 billion despite a drop in oil prices that has led to a bigger-than-expected decline Sikorsky's commercial helicopter sales, Chief Executive Marillyn Hewson said Tuesday.

 
Hewson said buying the company was "absolutely a great opportunity" and Lockheed remained confident about its long-term prospects, despite the oil-related drop in commercial sales.
