KUALA LUMPUR: Aircaft manufacturer Airbus will be the largest international exhibitor at next week’s Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition (LIMA) 2019, displaying its entire range of commercial aircraft, defence, space and helicopter products and services.

The biennial air show will be held at the Mahsuri International Exhibition Centre in Langkawi from March 26-30.

“Airbus aircraft at the static display include an A320neo operated by Malaysia’s low-cost carrier AirAsia, the largest customer for the European manufacturer’s single-aisle aircraft.

“Military aircraft such as a Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) A400M, the new-generation tactical airlifter, and a CN235 medium aircraft that the service uses on transport missions, will also be on display,” Airbus said in a statement yesterday.

The company’s leadership in Malaysia’s helicopter market will be underscored by the presence of helicopters such as the RMAF’s H225M, a Malaysian navy AS555SN Fennec, and an AS365 Dauphin operated by the country’s maritime enforcement agency.

Airbus will also feature a H145 helicopter in emergency medical services configuration. — Bernama
