Armenia has ordered six Airbus H145 helicopters, closing its first contract with the manufacturer during French President Emmanuel Macron’s state visit to Yerevan. The deal has entered into force and gives the Armenian state a new light-twin platform for transport missions.
Airbus is positioning the H145 for Armenia’s mountainous operating environment, where high-altitude performance, payload flexibility and simplified maintenance matter. The order also deepens industrial and political ties between France and Armenia, with the company framing it as the start of a longer partnership.
For operators, the key signal is procurement. Armenia is adding a proven multi-role type that can scale across government transport requirements.
