BEIJING/SYDNEY, July 26 (Reuters) - China has granted certification to the AC352 utility helicopter it is jointly producing with Airbus (AIR.PA), state media said on Tuesday, even as the European planemaker awaits Beijing's nod to sell its foreign-made equivalent in the Asian nation.
Developed by Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC) and Airbus, the AC352 is the locally produced variant of the Airbus H175, which has been in service since 2015 outside China and is designed to perform search and rescue, emergency medical services and law enforcement missions.
