German Police optimises ops with refurbished H135
A number of organisations were involved in the successful delivery of an H135 helicopter to the German Federal Police. Rotortrade carried out the sourcing from Malaysia, before Motorflug added final touches.
All parties agree that the H135 is a strong choice for federal missions.

The German Federal Police has opted for a pre-owned H135 helicopter, via Motorflug Baden-Baden, to enhance its operation. The aircraft was sourced from Rotortrade and originated in Malaysia. It will serve as part of the fleet for the German Federal Police, with its specific configuration making it the optimal choice for the organisation's operational needs.

Rotortrade located the H135, which was identified as the best fit for the client's requirements. Motorflug, a helicopter service centre based at Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden airport, additionally handled the necessary upgrades, including avionics and painting, to ensure the helicopter was fully customised to meet the end client's specifications.

The negotiation process began in Q1 2023 and was led by Haris Dzanan, Rotortrade's sales manager for Central and Eastern Europe. Thanks to close collaboration between Rotortrade and Motorflug, the helicopter was successfully delivered in Q3 2023.
