Summary / Abstract (Note) | Indian requirements for helicopters — in both military and civil aviation sector — are growing rapidly. Estimates suggest that in the near term, India could buy as many as 1000 helicopters, making it a market too big to ignore. Firmly focussed on this market is Bell Helicopter, which plans to sell its latest and the most versatile Bell-407GX and Bell-407GT tactical light commercial helicopters. At Aero India 2015, the company conducted various demonstration flights of the Bell-407GX for select journalists and also provided hands-on training experience for Indian Air Force (IAF) helicopter pilots. VIPs like Anil Ambani, chairman of Reliance Group, also received demonstration flights during the course of the Show. |
