Boeing is in talks with the Philippines regarding a potential sale of the company's AH-6i light attack and reconnaissance helicopter, an official told Jane's on 5 May.

With the US State Department having recently approved the potential sale of Boeing's AH-64E Apache Guardian attack helicopter to the Philippine Air Force (PAF), Terry Jamison, Director, Vertical Lift International Sales, said that the company is exploring the possibility of selling the AH-6i to the Philippine Army also.

"We are actually working an AH-6 campaign with the Philippines. The army has expressed an interest in the capability, and we are answering their questions and providing information on the helicopter, but I wouldn't want to say anything more than that at this stage," Jamison said.
