Airbus Helicopter Deliveries Dipped in 2020
Airbus
Helicopters reported annual 2020 results this morning, including 289 gross
orders (net: 268) and 300 deliveries that amount to a 48 percent share of
the world civil and parapublic market. These numbers are down from 2019, when
the company posted 369 orders and 332 deliveries to achieve a 54 percent market
share.
The company primarily lost market share to
Russian Helicopters and Bell, while marginally gaining share from
Leonardo. CEO Bruno Even noted key accomplishments on the year, including
the certification of the five-blade H145 medium twin and the H160 intermediate
twin, as well as the continued development of the zero-emissions CityAirbus
eVTOL demonstrator. Highlights in 2020 included the delivery of the first
five-blade H145 to launch customer Norsk Luftambulanse and, later in
the year, to DRF Luftrettung; the handover of the 463rd UH-72A from the
Airbus factory in Columbus, Mississippi; and the first H225M and NH90 deliveries
to the Kuwait Air Force and the Spanish Air Force, respectively.
