Airbus continues talks over helicopter contract

Following Rzeczpospolita's reports that Poland will scrap a deal with French manufacturer Airbus for the delivery of 50 helicopters and will buy only a few of them, the company issued a statement in which it said that talks with Poland were continuing. "The comments which have come up in media recently induce speculation and gossip, leading to erroneous conclusions regarding the Polish helicopter tenders," Airbus Helicopters said in the statement. "The only true information is that talks with the Economy Ministry continue and that we are ready to support our Polish partners."
