Airbus Helicopters Singapore logistics hub
Airbus Helicopters opened its new Singapore logistics hub on February 2 to strengthen its supply chain in the Asia-Pacific region.

Airbus Helicopters officially opened its Asia-Pacific regional logistics hub in Singapore last week. The manufacturer said the facility will bolster its supply chain with parts for rotorcraft operated by customers in 21 countries in the region.

The 21,500-sq-ft facility has four loading bays and accommodates more than 20,000 part numbers. Initially, Airbus stocked the hub with €10 million ($11.9 million) worth of parts. The company plans to double this inventory as it achieves full operational capacity.
