Japan’s National Police Agency Orders H225, H135 Helicopters

Airbus has won an order to provide one new H225 and four H135 helicopters to Japan’s National Police Agency (NPA) as part of its fleet modernisation programme.

Currently operating 12 H135, four H155 and six AS365 helicopters, with one H215 and two H225 already on order, NPA deploys its growing fleet for missions including law enforcement, personnel and VIP transport, goods transportation, disaster relief, as well as wide area support. The five new helicopters will complement the agency’s law enforcement capabilities. The new order will take NPA’s Airbus fleet to 30.
