French operator Airtelis is adding up to five Airbus H145 helicopters to its fleet for offshore energy industry support missions.

Airbus Helicopters and Leonardo have both enjoyed a flurry of new business this week, logging orders for dozens of new helicopters. Most of the announcements, which also include support and training deals, were made during the European Rotors show in Amsterdam.

Østnes Helicopters, which is the official distributor for Airbus in the Nordic countries, signed a contract for 10 H125s. These will join a fleet of more than 150 examples of the single-engine model in the region.
