Francisco Navarro, general manager of the Airbus Helicopters de México customer centre said: “We highly value the longstanding partnership with Pegaso, and appreciate its confidence in our products. Pegaso can count on the best-in-class support to guarantee the highest availability of its new rotorcraft.”
