By Defence Industry Europe

Airbus Helicopters has reached a significant milestone with the delivery of the 2,000th H145 multi-role helicopter. This achievement underscores the global success of the H145, which has become a trusted platform for a wide range of missions.

 

Since deliveries began in 2002, the H145 has been operated by more than 350 customers across 66 countries. The global fleet has accumulated over 8 million flight hours, highlighting its reliability and adaptability in demanding environments.

 

 

The H145 has gained recognition for its performance in emergency medical services, law enforcement, and military operations. Around 40% of all deliveries have been to military operators, driven in part by the helicopter’s selection by the U.S. Department of Defense under the Light Utility Helicopter (LUH) programme.

 

 

In Europe, the H145 serves in the armed forces of countries including Germany, France, the United Kingdom, and Hungary, with additional orders placed by Belgium and Cyprus. The helicopter’s versatility makes it suitable for roles ranging from training and special forces support to battlefield operations.
