Airbus Helicopters receives order for H145 helicopters from Armenia

Airbus Helicopters and the Republic of Armenia have signed a contract for the purchase of six H145 helicopters. The agreement, finalised during French President Emmanuel Macron’s state visit to Yerevan, has now entered into force, marking a significant step in strengthening ties between France and Armenia.

The multi-role helicopters will be used for transport missions and represent Armenia’s first contract with Airbus Helicopters. The acquisition supports the modernisation of the country’s rotorcraft fleet with one of the most versatile and dependable platforms in its class.

The H145 is recognised for its strong performance in high-altitude and hot-weather conditions, making it well suited to Armenia’s mountainous terrain. The five-bladed variant also offers greater payload capacity, enhanced passenger comfort and simplified maintenance requirements.
