AIRBUS HELICOPTERS TO INTRODUCE AN IFR-CAPABLE H125

Airbus Helicopters has launched the development of an Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) capability for the H125 in partnership with Genesys Aerosystems which will be available in the second half of 2024 from the Airbus Helicopters’ final assembly line in Columbus, Mississippi.

This new IFR feature will expand the helicopter's mission capabilities in all weather conditions, especially for critical missions such as public services, including law enforcement, emergency medical services, and enhanced training - all missions that are in high demand worldwide, and in particular in North America.

Airbus Helicopters is targeting certification from major aviation authorities, including FAA, during the second half of 2024, with the first deliveries by the end of that year.
