Aeronautics and space major Airbus will highlight its products, technologies and services at Wings India, the biennial civil aviation show, to be held at Begumpet Airport here from March 12 to 15.
At Airbus’ stand 9 in Hall A, visitors will be able to experience a scale model of its single-aisle A220 aircraft, which is specifically designed and purpose-built for the 100-160 seat market. The A220 is an ideal choice for India to develop its regional air connectivity, said the company.

Wings India is a platform to showcase some of those innovative products and services.”
Also on display will be a scale model of the Airbus H145 twin-engine helicopter. The H145 is a best-in-class product that serves a range of purposes, including VIP transport, emergency medical services and utility work missions, said the company.
