Armenia has placed its first order with Airbus Helicopters, signing for six H145s to support transport missions and modernise its rotorcraft fleet.
The contract entered into force during French President Emmanuel Macron’s state visit to Yerevan. Airbus is pitching the twin-engine H145 for Armenia’s mountainous terrain and hot-and-high operating profile, where payload, flight stability and maintainability matter. The five-bladed variant adds extra lift margin and a smoother cabin environment, while Helionix avionics and a four-axis autopilot reduce workload.
The deal gives Airbus a new customer in the Caucasus and puts the H145 into a fleet role that is likely to drive follow-on support demand.
