Netherlands Places Order For 12 Airbus H225 Helicopters

Deal Includes Initial Batch Of Support And Services

Airbus Helicopters announced it has been awarded a contract by the Dutch Ministry of Defense for 12 H225Ms, and includes an initial bundle of support and services.

The agreement was signed by Vice-Admiral Jan Willem Hartman, Head of the Netherlands Command Materiel and IT (COMMIT) agency, and Bruno Even, CEO of Airbus Helicopters during the Euronaval trade show in Paris.

The Royal Netherlands Air Force (RNLAF) currently operates Cougars from the H215M line of helicopters. The H225Ms will be operated by the 300 Special Operations Squadron. Airbus Helicopters and the RNLAF will work closely together to develop the aircraft by adapting it to the requirements of the users by enhancing capabilities and efficiency for special operations missions through constant communications.

Bruno Even said, “We are very proud to see the Royal Netherlands Air Force and COMMIT renewing their trust in Airbus Helicopters. The H225M was selected by the Netherlands in June 2023 after a call for tender and an exhaustive evaluation, after which the Airbus helicopter was considered the best option for the very demanding special forces operations. The proven H225M is unmatched in terms of performance, versatility and range. It can carry extensive mission equipment that can be tailored to each customer's needs and will be serving its customer’s requirements for the decades to come.”

The H225M has proven its durability and reliability in combat conditions. Airbus Helicopters are continually being improved upon and are now equipped with an enhanced main gear box, new avionics, airborne communications systems, and can also be outfitted with the HForce weapon system.
