Contract for two H125s at European Rotors 2023

We are proud to announce that Airbus Helicopters and ASU BALTIJA announced a contract for two H125s at European Rotors 2023 in Madrid on 28 November 2023. They are the first Airbus helicopters sold to a commercial operator in the country, and will also be the first two H125 family helicopters deployed in Lithuania.

ASU Baltija has long-term experience working with AIRBUS HELICOPTERS providing logistics support for the Lithuanian Air Force AS365N3+ fleet.

Procurement of H125 allows ASU Baltija to open a new page in our history and step away from the helicopters manufactured in Russia. Helicopters will be leased to ASU Baltija private customer together with a crew and maintenance team.

H125 ideally meets all the requirements to perform our new commercial activities, highlighted Linas Elijosius, CEO of ASU Baltija JSC.

"Even though the H125 is the bestselling helicopter in its class, it is always a proud moment when we welcome a new customer. We are confident that ASU BALTIJA has chosen the right product for their commercial services," said Thomas Zeman, Head of Sales Eastern Europe and CIS at Airbus Helicopters. "We are proud to have sold our first helicopters to a commercial operator in Lithuania and hope that when the H125 demonstrates its performance we can look forward to many more to come."

Today, close to 4,200 H125 family helicopters are flying across the globe in the most demanding conditions. The H125 is the absolute market leader in the intermediate single-engine helicopter category, achieving a market share of 63% in 2022. In 2022, 161 H125 helicopters were ordered, setting a sales record for the past decade.
