Østnes Helicopters, the official distributor for Airbus Helicopters in the Nordic region, has placed an order for 10 H125 helicopters at the European Rotors 2025 exhibition, taking place in Cologne, Germany on November 17–20, 2025.
The order, along with four H125s ordered earlier in 2025, brings the total number of H125s ordered through Østnes Helicopters this year to 14 aircraft, Airbus announced in a statement on November 19, 2025.
Stine Østnes, Chief Sales Officer of Østnes Helicopters, said the H125 “delivers on all fronts” and the company sees a “strong demand” for the helicopter on the Nordic market.
“This strategic procurement ensures we can maintain short delivery times and offer our customers the best availability for the world’s most successful single-engine helicopter,” Østnes said.
The H125 is part of the Ecureuil family, which Airbus describes as “the absolute market leader in the intermediate single-engine helicopter category”, with a market share of 73% in 2024.
“The H125 is engineered to excel in the most demanding conditions, and this total of 14 orders in 2025 affirms its position as the preferred tool for customers across the Nordic countries,” said Thomas Hein, Head of Europe Region at Airbus Helicopters.
Østnes Helicopters has enhanced its position in the Nordic rotorcraft market, having sold over 400 helicopters in both new and used markets.
The company’s maintenance division is certified to provide complete Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) services for the H120, H125, and H130 models.
There are over 130 H125s operating in the Nordics, primarily engaged in utility and aerial work missions. Across the globe, there are more than 4,300 H125 family helicopters flying in the most demanding conditions.
