France’s Airbus Helicopters plans to directly hire 1,250 people in Poland by 2020 as well as create additional 2,500 jobs in the sector in connection if it wins a tender to deliver 70 helicopters for the Polish army, company’s chief executive Guillaume Faury said at a press conference on Monday.

“We’re talking about 1,250 direct jobs and 2,500 indirect jobs,” Faury said.

“We are committed to being in Poland in the long-term, this is not an offset-like approach, we are in a home country”, he said.
