AUSTRIA: POLITICS TO SETTLE HELICOPTER ORDER?
Article Abstract:
There is speculation about Austria's new government favouring Sikorsky of the US as the supplier of the 9-12 new helicopters to be bought for the Austrian defence force, the Bundesheer. Sikorsky is said to have submitted a new offer with a new price for its multi-purpose helicopter S-70A Black Hawk. Until recently French-German Eurocopter with its Cougar helicopter was seen as the favourite for the contract. It is suggested that the Austrian government is not keen on placing the contract for the replacement of the Draken interceptor fighters with the French-German group either.
