HAL seals contract with Argentinian Air Force for supply of helicopter spares

State-run aerospace behemoth Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL) will supply spares and provide engine repair services to Argentinian Air Force’s two-tonne class helicopters.

The HAL inked an agreement with the air force of the South American country for extending the services, officials said.

Argentina has already evinced interest in procuring a batch of India’s Light Combat Aircraft Tejas.

“The HAL signed a contract with Argentinian Air Force (AAF) for the supply of spares and engine repair of legacy two-tonne class helicopters,” an official of HAL said on Thursday.
