The Ministry of Defense of Honduras has acquired two additional Airbus H145s, which the Honduran Air Force will operate to perform passenger and cargo transport, search and rescue, firefighting, medical evacuation, and other essential missions.
The aircraft are in addition to the two H145s ordered a year ago and are expected to be delivered before the end of this year. Beyond this order, the Honduran Minister of Defence José Manuel Zelaya indicated that a further order for another two aircraft beyond the present commitment is in the offing when he spoke of the country having “six H145s in the coming years” available to respond to natural disasters.
“We are delighted to take another step forward in our collaboration with Honduras through this vital project, and we are proud to know that our H145s will perform essential missions to protect the Honduran people,” added Alberto Robles, Head of Airbus Helicopters in Latin America. “With excellent availability and performance, the H145 has proven to be a very versatile platform that adapts perfectly to the climatic and geographic conditions of the region.”
