Airbus Helicopters Orders Down, Revenue Up
Airbus Helicopters revenues grew modestly due to service sales gains.

Airbus Helicopters reported a drop in orders but modestly higher revenues for the first quarter, the company reported yesterday. The helicopter unit posted new orders for 66 helicopters during the quarter, compared with 104 from the year-ago period. These orders included 20 for Super Puma-family heavies and 16 for the H145 medium twin. Airbus attributed a 5 percent year-over-year gain in quarterly revenues—to $1.13 billion from $1.078 billion from a year ago—to a higher service volume.
