Airbus to hire neraly 4,000 people in Poland

Airbus Helicopters is planning to create in Poland 1,250 "direct" and 2,500 "indirect" jobs until 2020, Guillaume Faury, the chief executive of Airbus Helicopters announced on Monday. According to the the French company's representatives, if it wins the tender to delivers helicopters for Polish army (which is likely to happen) Airbus will launch servicing line of H225M helicopters in Łódź. Ministry of Defense has selected French Eurocopter Caracal EC725 manufactured by Airbus to be "further verfied". It means that Poland will probably buy 70 helicopters from the French producer, rather than the British-Italian AgustaWestland AW149 or American Black Hawk S-70i, the media reported recently.
