Airbus Finalises Sale of 10 H125 Helicopters to U.S. CBP

Overview

• Airbus confirmed a contract to deliver ten H125 light single‑engine helicopters to U.S. Customs and Border Protection Air and Marine Operations for use in airborne law enforcement missions.
• The company said the helicopters will join CBP AMO’s existing H125 fleet and called the order an extension of a long‑standing collaboration between Airbus and the agency.
• Airbus highlights the H125’s law enforcement fit, noting standard safety and mission systems such as dual‑channel FADEC, an engine data recorder, and dual hydraulic flight controls to reduce pilot workload.
• The machines are manufactured at Airbus’s Columbus, Mississippi facility, a detail that bears on logistics, parts supply and fleet sustainment for a U.S. government operator.
• CBP AMO uses light enforcement helicopters for patrol, surveillance and tactical operations, and Airbus says it will provide ongoing services to help ensure the aircraft remain mission ready.
