Airbus Helicopters Books 544 Orders in 2025, Lifts Market Share on Spain Deal and UAS Push

A landmark 100-helicopter commitment from Spain anchored the upswing.

Overview

  • Airbus Helicopters reported 544 gross orders (536 net) and 392 deliveries in 2025 from 205 customers across 50 countries.
  • The company captured 51% of the civil and parapublic market and increased its military share to 28%.
  • Spain’s order covered 50 H145Ms, 31 NH90s for all services, 13 H135s, and the first six H175M orders.
  • Germany exercised options for 20 more H145Ms to reach 82 on order as the NH90 line gained momentum with Germany’s first Sea Tiger delivery, three additional aircraft for the Netherlands, and a Greek support contract.
  • Airbus expanded into uncrewed systems by integrating Survey Copter and signing initial contracts with Drone Forge, EMSA, and the French Ministry of Armed Forces, while advancing H160M flight testing, securing 61 firm H140 orders, pushing Racer to 440 km/h, and starting an H125 final assembly line in India.
