Airbus Helicopters CEO Bruno Even commented on the potential of the Indian market for helicopters, stressing the strategic significance of producing 'Made in India' H125 helicopters.

The location of the FAL in India is yet to be officially announced, although Airbus Helicopters and Tata Advanced Systems have progressed significantly in this regard.

The H125 helicopter, part of Airbus' Ecureuil family, is noted for its versatility and performance, having accumulated over 40 million flight hours globally. It is capable of operating in high-and-hot environments and extreme conditions, with adaptable configurations for various missions such as aerial work, firefighting, law enforcement, rescue operations, air ambulance services, and more.
