AHI Columbus helos for Israel

Airbus Helicopters Inc.’s final assembly plant at Columbus, Miss., will build four H125 AStars and two H145s helicopters for Elbit Systems Ltd. to replace an aging fleet of single-engine helicopters for the civilian police force of Israel – the Israel Police. Delivery of the aircraft will “mark the introduction of the H125 and H145 to Israel,” says Sebastien Delmaire, VP of Strategy and Business Development. The H125s will be the first built for a foreign customer at AHI’s Columbus plant. (Source: PR Web 09/10/15)
