MD Helicopters is hoping for a follow-on sale of helicopters in Malaysia, as it eyes growth in the broader Asia-Pacific region.
A notable attraction at this year’s Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace (LIMA) exhibition are six new MD530Gs, which were delivered to Malaysia’s army in 2022. The type is appearing on static, and also participated in the show’s opening ceremony.
The six rotorcraft – delivery of which was delayed for several years – are primarily used for training. Malaysia could obtain six more. If it does so, the original six can be armed for the light attack role.
Malaysia’s MD530Gs feature the L3Harris Wescam MX10D sensor and Tek Fusions Pathfinder Ares Weapons Management System. In addition to delivering the six MD530Gs to Malaysia in 2022, the company also provided pilot and maintainer training.
