Airbus, FlyBlade India tie up for on-demand helicopter services in South Asia
MUMBAI : European aviation major Airbus has signed an initial pact with the US-based helicopter transport services provider BLADE’s Indian subsidiary, FlyBlade India, to help develop the on-demand helicopter services market in South Asia.
Under the memorandum of understanding (MoU), Airbus and BLADE will collaborate to create awareness about on-demand helicopter services, among helicopter operators, customers and other stakeholders in the region, a statement said on Friday.
BLADE had in December 2018 formed a joint venture with equity investment firm Hunch Ventures to launch its services in the country.
“BLADE recognises Airbus as an industry leader in aviation and is looking to leverage its global knowledge and networks in creating a sustainable urban air mobility ecosystem,” said Karanpal Singh, founder of Hunch Ventures.
