Airbus has finalised a contract for the purchase of 10 H125 helicopters by U.S. Customs and Border Protection Air and Marine Operations (CBP AMO). These aircraft will be operated in support of law enforcement, border security, and public safety missions across the United States.
“The expansion of this H125 fleet underscores the long-standing collaboration between Airbus and U.S. Customs and Border Protection,” said Bart Reijnen, Head of the North America Region for Airbus Helicopters, “This selection highlights the trust placed in the H125 to perform critical public safety missions under demanding conditions. Airbus remains committed to supporting the agency with reliable aircraft and comprehensive services to ensure continuous mission readiness.”
While Airbus was able to confirm that the 10 aircraft in the order are for fleet renewal and will be assembled at the company’s Columbus, Mississippi final assembly line it was not at liberty to divulge the timeline for delivery of the aircraft which given the continuing demand for the type is likely to be measured in years rather than months
