British cos show interest to partner with HAL for Regional Transport Aircraft programme

Bangalore: Industries in Britain would be interested to partner with Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) in India's Regional Civil Aircraft programme, a senior British trade official has said.

The message was conveyed by Carole Sweeney, Director of UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) to a delegation from HAL at a business meeting at the ongoing Farnborough International Air Show in Britain (July 14 to 20), HAL said in a release here.

UK industries would do their best in their known areas of expertise and skills if given an opportunity and they will play a critical role in the success of the programme, she was quoted as having told the HAL executives.

HAL Chairman R K Tyagi said soon Request For Proposal (RFP) would be issued for the engine of the aircraft as 11 bidders have already responded to the recent Request For Information (RFI) issued for the 70-90 seater civil aircraft engine.
