Shareholders will discuss the issue in a future meeting, the company said in a statement.
The company’s board and executive management will continue talks with Airbus Helicopters representatives regarding the production line project.
Airbus Helicopters, previously named Eurocopter, employs approximately 23,000 people worldwide, and operates in Romania via Eurocopter Romania, in which it owns a 51% stake, while the rest of the shares are owned by IAR.
IAR Brasov was established 90 years ago. In 1968, the plant specialized in the production of helicopters in partnership with Aerospatiale France, which is currently a Eurocopter subsidiary. The company is 64.9% owned by the Economy Ministry.
