About Event

The UK has played a pioneering role in setting up helicopter offshore operations in India. Both nations, with large coast lines, treacherous mountainous terrain and distinct topographies share expertise in roles for helicopter operations, best practice and deployments. The Indian helicopter industry holds vast potential for both onshore and offshore operations. The UK has significant technological expertise, OEM support, Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MROs) and a drive to innovate.  UK expertise complement the capabilities of the Indian helicopter industry and can play a major role in the growth of the domestic helicopter industry across India.
