Iran is reportedly negotiating with the European planemaker Airbus Helicopters to purchase 48 helicopters for civilian use.
"The Health Ministry is planning to order 45 HEMS (Helicopter Emergency Medical Service) helicopters and the purchase is being negotiated by the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development," Iran's Financial Tribune daily quoted Deputy Minister Asghar Fakhrieh-Kashan as saying. "Ports and Maritime Organization is also planning to hold a tender to purchase three search-and-rescue helicopters," he added.
Fakhrieh-Kashan emphasized that Iran was holding negotiations to merge the helicopter order into the Iran Air-Airbus contract signed in December.
