Airbus Helicopters, February 28, 2024 - Heli-Expo, Anaheim – Airbus Helicopters and Bristow Group announced a framework contract for up to fifteen H135 helicopters (five firm orders, plus 10 options) during this year’s HAI Heli-Expo. The delivery of the first helicopter is scheduled for October 2024.
Bruno Even, CEO of Airbus Helicopters said “I’d like to thank the Bristow Group for their renewed trust in our helicopters. Airbus Helicopters and Bristow Group share a long history, and I am very proud to open a new chapter in our partnership. The H135 has proven it's perfect for offshore missions with customers all over the world, especially thanks to Airbus Helicopters' Helionix avionics suite, which reduces pilot workload and increases safety."
Stu Stavley, Chief Operating Officer, Offshore Energy Services for Bristow Group said “Our longstanding relationship with Airbus, coupled with our extensive experience operating the H135 since 2006, underscores the helicopter’s exceptional performance and reliability. The H135 has proven itself to be a very capable helicopter, both for missions offshore and overland.”
