An A400M airlifter has been used for the first time to transport a French Army Tiger combat helicopter directly from France to Gao, Mali.
Le constructeur franco-italien a connu l'année passée une croissance exceptionnelle de ses ventes, pour un chiffre d'affaires qui a atteint un niveau historique de 1,8 milliard de dollars.
Airbus Helicopters has delivered the first Tiger retrofitted into the HAD version to the French Army's ALAT aviation service, following completion of the formal acceptance process with the French Defence Procurement Agency (DGA).
