Tiger helicopters preferred in Australia - a splendid example of EADS's effectiveness
Amsterdam, 14 August 2001
In an international competition, the Australian government has decided in favor of Eurocopter's Tiger combat helicopter. This selection proves, beyond the technical qualities, the effectiveness of EADS as a group in providing the operation with the necessary support, and in developing industrial partnerships through the acquisition of other companies and by implementing compensation programs.
"This proves that Eurocopter, now fully integrated into the group, with the support of EADS was able to reach a significant milestone in the conquest of international markets, and in particular, military. This is especially satisfying for the EADS group at a time when the commercial aircraft market does not seem to be doing as well" says Philippe Camus, CEO of EADS.
