Airbus Helicopters and the Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to facilitate the financing of Airbus helicopters in India. This partnership aims to make civil helicopters more accessible to operators, supporting the growth of the helicopter industry in the country.
Airbus Helicopters and Babcock have signed a 12-year contract with the French Ministry of Interior’s Direction de la Maintenance Aéronautique (DMAé) to provide support for 48 EC145 helicopters. The contract includes technical support, spare parts supply, logistics solutions, technical data management, and software support for the fleet, which is operated by the Sécurité Civile and the Gendarmerie air forces. Airbus Helicopters and Babcock will also ensure the availability of the EC145s for critical missions serving the French population, including search and rescue, emergency medical services, fire fighting, and law enforcement operations.
