Transport and Infrastructure Minister Abdulkadir Uraloğlu announced that training programs for maintenance technicians have begun for Turkey's domestically-produced, nationally-developed general-purpose helicopter GÖKBEY. These training programs represent a critical phase in bringing the helicopter into operational status.
The GÖKBEY helicopter is known to be approaching serial production and is designed for use in both civilian and military sectors.
Training programs for maintenance technicians of GÖKBEY, Turkey's domestically developed helicopter, have officially commenced. These trainings represent a critical phase for the helicopter's operational deployment.
GÖKBEY's integration into the fleet will reduce Turkey's dependence on imports in the aviation sector and demonstrate concrete results of domestic technology investments. The operational deployment of this helicopter, suitable for both civil and military use, could lower operating costs and increase export potential starting from the domestic market.
