United Technologies Corp.’s Sikorsky may win an order from the Norwegian government as Eurocopter SAS and AgustaWestland, Europe’s largest helicopter makers, risk losing the deal for NH90 maritime choppers because of delays.
Norway told NH Industries, the European team bidding on the project, that it may buy Sikorsky Seahawks unless delivery issues on the NH90 are resolved, the Defense Ministry said today in a statement to Parliament. The NH90 order is valued at about $800 million.
