Airbus Snags 10-ship H125 Order at European Rotors

Airbus Helicopters received an order for 10 H125s from Østnes Helicopters, the airframer’s distributor in the Nordic region, this week at European Rotors in Cologne, Germany. This is in addition to Østnes’ order placed earlier this year for four of the light single helicopters, bringing the total to 14 anticipated H125 deliveries.

“Our customers require a rotorcraft that is not just reliable, but truly versatile, capable of performing everything from long-line utility work to passenger transport,” said Stine Østnes, the dealer’s chief sales officer. “The H125 delivers on all fronts, and we see a continuous strong demand for the helicopter on the Nordic market. This strategic procurement ensures we can maintain short delivery times and offer our customers the best availability for the world’s most successful single-engine helicopter.”

More than 130 of the global fleet of more than 4,300 H125-family helicopters are in operation across the Nordic region, employed primarily in utility and aerial work missions.

A strong presence in the Scandinavian rotorcraft market, Østnes has facilitated the sale of more than 400 new and used helicopters. Its maintenance operation is approved to deliver comprehensive MRO services for Airbus H120s, H125s, and H130s.
