Greece signs contract with Airbus for 8 firefighting helicopters

  • Airbus Helicopters finalized an agreement to supply eight H215 helicopters to Greece’s government agency responsible for managing climate emergencies and civil protection, intended to assist with firefighting efforts.
  • The contract follows a tender conducted by Growthfund’s Project Preparation Facility, the National Fund of Greece, to bolster Greece’s wildfire response capabilities under the Aegis Programme.
  • The H215 helicopters, part of the Super Puma family, feature a 4-axis autopilot that enables night firefighting and have a capacity of transporting 19 firefighters and dropping over four tonnes of water.
  • Bruno Even, CEO of Airbus Helicopters, expressed pride in being chosen to assist Greek communities annually in fighting wildfires with their H215 aircraft.
  • The contract, financed in part by two European funding sources and including an option to acquire two additional helicopters, will follow a government-owned contractor-operated framework, with Airtelis and SAF Hélicoptères providing the necessary technical and operational assistance.
