Airbus Helicopters acquires Italian partner
Airbus Helicopters has acquired its Italian distributor and partner, Aersud Elicotteri.
From its headquarters near Verona, Aersud has played a key role in increasing Airbus Helicopters’ market share in Italy, particularly in mission segments such as aerial work, business aviation and emergency medical services.
The company is a distributor of Airbus aircraft, including the H125 and H145 helicopters, which are particularly suited to the country’s mountainous conditions.
The company will now fully integrate with Airbus Helicopters’ global network of customer centers.
Bruno Even, Airbus Helicopters CEO, said: ‘We are fully committed to providing our local customers with the best-in-class service and support they expect, and to do so while building on the very successful relationship that Aersud Elicotteri has developed with them over the years. I would also like to warmly welcome all of our new colleagues to the Airbus team.’
