Amsterdam – Airbus and Østnes Helicopters, the official distributor for Airbus Helicopters in the Nordic countries, announced a contract for ten Airbus H125s at this year’s European Rotors. They will join a fleet of more than 150 H125s in the region, which mainly perform utility and aerial work missions.
“Nordic customers require a truly versatile helicopter which can perform a wide range of missions,” said Frode Østnes, CEO of Østnes Helicopters. “The H125 has proven that it has the capabilities time and again. Our customers in the region depend on these aircraft for essential missions and we are determined to ensure they benefit from short delivery times. This order ensures we have the best availability for the best helicopter.”
“With the contract for ten H125s, we are proud to write another chapter in our more than 30-year partnership with Østnes Helicopters,” said Thomas Hein, Head of Europe Region at Airbus Helicopters. “The H125 is the world’s most successful single-engine helicopter and we are happy that Østnes is strongly committed to supporting our ambition to expand our market share in the Nordic region. With this agreement we look forward to further strengthening our presence in this region.”
Østnes Helicopters is the authorised distributor for Airbus helicopters in the Nordic countries. The company has established a strong presence in the rotorcraft sector in the region and has successfully sold more than 400 helicopters, both new and on the secondary market. Østnes Helicopters’ maintenance organisation is approved to provide full MRO services for the H120, H125 and H130 models. From this year, its scope also includes full support for the H145, supported by a team of certified technicians and avionics experts specially trained for the H145 helicopter.
Today, more than 4,300 H125 family helicopters are flying across the globe in the most demanding conditions. The H125 is the absolute market leader in the intermediate single-engine helicopter category, achieving a record market share of 82% in 2023. This year, the Ecureuil family celebrates 40 million flight hours and 50 years since its maiden flight.
