PARIS (Reuters) - Airbus Helicopters posted 4% higher deliveries last year, with 361 aircraft released to customers in the strongest industrial performance since 2017 as the world's largest commercial supplier continued a gradual recovery from the pandemic.
The rotary wing division of planemaker Airbus said in a business update that it had won 455 gross orders, or a net total of 450 after cancellations, up 15% from the previous year and marking the highest net order haul since 2012.
Airbus said it had won a 57% share of the civil and parapublic market, which includes emergency services, in 2024.
New business included 58 orders for the large Super Puma.
Airbus will release its full results, including profit figures for the helicopter division, on Feb. 20.
