SUBANG: Airbus Helicopters Malaysia Sdn Bhd expects its sales to pick up significantly from 2018 onwards.
Airbus Helicopters Malaysia vice president of sales Guillaume Dubreuil said that a stronger economy, a stronger ringgit, recovery in oil prices and the renewal of aircraft fleet will benefit the company significantly post-2018.
In the 2018-19 period he said orders for Airbus helicopters is expected to pick up on the back of the above reasons as these combination of factors will result in greater confidence in the economy and a spike in investment activities.
