UAE cancels Airbus H225M contract

I have it on very good authority that 2 things caused this outcome, albeit they are intertwined. Firstly AH refused to honour the requirement for local UAE industry to be involved in the program. Secondly AH's behavior post the award of the contract (the word 'peacocking' was mentioned) did not go down well with the powers that be. So when the opportunity came for the UAE to fire AH, that's what happened.

In December 2021, UAE ordered 12 H225M Caracal helicopters during the French president’s visit for an estimated price of €750-€800 million.
If he was smart he got that dosh up front and the cancellation is no big deal to his "contribution" to the sale.
