Airbus Helicopters and Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) have delivered the first Light Civil Helicopter (LCH) to a local operator, Gloria Aviation, following certification in September 2022. The helicopter will be deployed to support critical life-saving missions in Jeju. Bruno Even, CEO of Airbus Helicopters, said: “KAI has been a long-time partner to Airbus on several strategic helicopter development programs. We are happy to celebrate this first LCH delivery which will, with the upcoming LAH qualification, kick-start a new chapter for our partnership as we enter the serial production phase. We are also pleased to take our partnership a step further
