Lithuanians Buy More H145s

Border Guard Enjoys 5-Bladed Models Most

Airbus Helicopters and the Lithuanian State Border Guard Service inked a contract for a trio of five-bladed H145 multi-mission helicopters at the 2023 European Rotors trade show, expanding the service's fleet.

The add H145s bring the total number of Airbus helicopters in government service to 11 in all, operating in a wide range of SAR, disaster relief, medevac, border patrol, firefighting, organ transport and even deployment of Lithuanian Special Forces.

“We are allocating significant resources to provide our State Border Guard Service with state-of-the-art equipment such as the multi-mission H145 helicopters,” said Agné Bilotaité, the Lithuanian Minister of Interior. “Funded in part by the national budget and also thanks to European funding, the H145s will further strengthen the intelligence and response capabilities of our border guards and contribute to Lithuania’s security,” she added.

“We are honoured that the Lithuanian State Border Guard Service is placing its trust in Airbus Helicopters once again with the selection of the H145 as its next generation multi-role helicopter,” said Olivier Michalon, Executive Vice President overseeing Global Business for Airbus Helicopters. “Our partnership started in 2002 when the Lithuanian State Border Guard received their first EC120. Twenty-one years later, it is a privilege to support such a distinguished organisation and to contribute to essential security missions in order to protect and serve the population of Lithuania and to make Europe safer," he added.
