空中客车H160直升机

Airbus is eyeing legal action against Japan’s ministry of defence after losing out on amultibillion-dollar deal to supply helicopters to the country’s ground self-defence forces, saidpeople familiar with the situation.

知情人士表示，空中客车(Airbus)正考虑对日本防卫省采取法律行动，原因是该公司在向日本陆上自卫队供应直升机的竞标中败北，丢掉了价值数十亿美元的订单。

There was industry-wide surprise in July when the defence ministry awarded a contract to aconsortium of Bell Helicopter of the US and Japan’s Fuji Heavy Industries to supply 150military helicopters to the self-defence forces.

今年7月，日本防卫省将一份向自卫队供应150架军用直升机的合同，授予了由美国贝尔直升机(BellHelicopter)和日本富士重工(Fuji Heavy Industries)组成的联合体。此举令整个军工行业都感到意外。

The deal — estimated to be worth $2bn to the Bell-Fuji consortium — throws a lifeline to theJapanese group’s helicopter operations, which have been struggling to secure orders since2007.

这笔对贝尔-富士联合体估计价值20亿美元的交易，为富士重工的直升机业务带来一线生机。自2007年以来，这家日本集团一直难以获得订单。
