Business and VIP helicopter sales are recovering, according to Eurocopter. “After the downturn that hit us between late 2008 and early 2010, we are seeing new demand coming from Brazil, Russia, India and China. Moreover, the U.S. is in a healthier position,” Patrice Royer, the manufacturer’s head of business and private aviation sales, told AIN. This segment, however, is deemed fragile, as it is closely tied to the fortunes to those of stock markets, which themselves remain volatile.
Last year, Eurocopter sold about 60 helicopters for such applications, with the largest markets being in Latin America, the U.S. and Western Europe. But in terms of growth potential, ranking is different. Looking ahead, the fastest growing market is set to be China, followed by Brazil and Europe, according to Royer.
