Airbus Helicopters, one of the world’s leading helicopter manufacturing and support companies, plans to introduce helicopter rentals to tourists in Myanmar by the end of the year. Lionel Sinai- Sinelnikoff, vice president of the company’s Southeast Asia arm, said that the company’s initial aim was to import helicopters for Myanmar’s oil and gas industry, but it has also seen potential in using helicopters for the tourism industry. He cited the difficulty in getting to remote areas of the country as being of potential interest to clients, adding that an official announcement will be made on the move in the future.
