Airbus Helicopters has received a fleet order for up to 44 twin-engine H225 Super Puma helicopters from the German Ministry of the Interior’s Bundespolizei (federal police). Deliveries will begin in 2029, and the deal includes 38 firm orders and six options.

The H225s will replace the Airbus H155 and AS332s that Bundespolizei has been flying for more than 20 years. It also operates single-engine H120s for pilot training and more than 40 twin-engine H135s. The purchase contract includes pilot and technician training and spare parts packages.
