This latest deal follows the four-year framework agreement signed at the end of July that foresees the procurement of up to 10 H135s.

Georges Durdilly, Head of Airbus Helicopters in Romania, commented: “Airbus has been an active player in Romania for almost 50 years and we are proud that the Ministry of Interior has selected the H135 for such critical missions. As a market leader with more than 600 helicopters in service for air medical service missions worldwide, I have no doubt that it will be a valuable life-saving asset to the country.”
