The Company constantly innovates to provide efficient and technologically-advanced solutions in aerospace, defence, and connected services. In commercial aircraft, Airbus designs and manufactures modern and fuel-efficient airliners and associated services. Airbus is also a European leader in space systems, defence and security. In helicopters, Airbus provides efficient civil and military rotorcraft solutions and services worldwide.
Thinking above and beyond is what we do. For more than 90 years, we’ve been reimagining the experience of flight – and where it can take us.
We are pioneers. We were the first to break the sound barrier and to certify a commercial helicopter. We were aboard NASA’s first lunar mission and brought advanced tiltrotor systems to market. Today, we’re defining the future of on-demand mobility.
Headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas – as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Textron Inc., – we have strategic locations around the globe. And with nearly one quarter of our workforce having served, helping our military achieve their missions is a passion of ours.
Above all, our breakthrough innovations deliver exceptional experiences to our customers. Efficiently. Reliably. And always, with safety at the forefront.

Nous pensons au-delà du vol. Nous avons redéfini l’expérience de vol – et où elle peut nous transporter- depuis plus de 85 ans.
Nous sommes des pionniers. Nous avons été les premiers à franchir le mur du son. Nous avons pris part à la première mission de la NASA sur la Lune et nous avons mis en marché des systèmes de rotors basculants évolués. Aujourd’hui, nous façonnons l’avenir de la mobilité sur demande.
Alors que le siège social est localisé à Fort Worth, Texas – une filiale en propriété exclusive de Textron Inc- nous avons des sites stratégiquement localisés à travers le monde.
Nos innovations révolutionnaires offrent des expériences exceptionnelles à nos clients. Efficacement. Fiablement. Et en mettant toujours la sécurité au premier plan.

With over 30 years of experience, HeliService is a global leader in offshore transportation, helicopter maintenance, and HEMS (Helicopter Emergency Medical Services). Our innovative and safe hoisting techniques, such as winching passengers directly onto wind turbines, provide wind farm operators significant advantages over traditional vessel transport:
• Reduction of turbine downtime and maximization of personnel productivity due to fast personnel deployment
• Mitigation of weather-related delays due to the helicopter’s vast independence from weather and sea conditions
• Reduction in carbon footprint, further enhanced by using Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF)
• Significant reduction of incidents and accidents
HeliService also provides in-house professional maintenance services for Leonardo AW109, AW139, and AW169 models, as well as Airbus H145C2 and H145D2 helicopters, supported by our Intelligent Maintenance System (IMS). Our third-party customers benefit from our:
• Absolute commitment to time and cost efficiency
• Web-based Customer Information Portal (CIP) for real-time maintenance tracking
Additionally, we offer Helicopter Emergency Medical Services, including the operation of sea rescue helicopters and the provision of specialized personnel.
Headquartered in Emden, Germany, HeliService has partner companies worldwide: HeliService UK, HeliService USA, and HeliService Taiwan. We ensure the safe operation of Leonardo and Airbus helicopters globally and play a pivotal role in supporting the transition to sustainable energy through regenerative wind power.
