China Helicopter Market Growth Still Positive
China has tremendous opportunities for grown in the helicopter segment.

After a slight slow-down in the helicopter market in Greater China during the first three quarters of 2015, business has returned to the strong levels of growth experienced over most the past six years, according to Chris Jaran, vice president, China, for Bell Helicopter.

Providing an overview of the market during a session yesterday at ABACE 2016, Jaran noted a number of factors in China, including economic challenges and a stock market crash, that slowed the market for new helicopters earlier last year. But the market began to rebound in the last four months of 2015 and this has continued into 2016. “[This year] looks more like 2014 than 2015,” he said.
