As orders and deliveries of its conventional helicopter models surged last year, Airbus Helicopters is pausing plans to fully launch the CityAirbus eVTOL aircraft program. Nonetheless, the European manufacturer said it will continue to fly the prototype during 2025.

Last year, Airbus Helicopters took gross orders for 455 helicopters (450 net), which is 10% higher than 2023. “When we look at the worldwide market, [this is the] first time since a few years that it's above 2019 [orders],” said Bruno Even, CEO of Airbus Helicopters. Deliveries during 2024 reached 361 helicopters, up from 346 delivered during 2023. The 2024 orders break down into 155 H125s, 47 H130s, 59 H135s, 114 H145s, four H160s, 18 H175s, and 58 of the Super Puma family.
