Airbus Helicopters has opened a new distribution platform in Western Australia. The ceremony was hosted by Romain Trapp, executive vice president, customer support and services of Airbus Helicopters, and attended by Samantha Rowe MLC, Parliamentary Secretary to the Deputy Premier, and Tanya Richardson, Mayor for the City of Swan.

The facility spans 500 square metres with capacity to grow to 1,500 square metres, strengthening Airbus’ local support infrastructure and providing faster service for operators across the state. Strategically located near Perth Airport, the hub will improve customs clearance and delivery services, reducing turnaround times for critical parts.

“This expansion reflects our enduring commitment to Australia, where we have proudly supported operators for over 40 years,” says Romain Trapp of Airbus Helicopters. “We see Australia as a vital market for civil and governmental helicopter operations, and we're investing to ensure our customers have the parts they need when they need them. The new distribution platform strengthens our ability to deliver fast, dependable service that keeps fleets mission-ready and flying safely.”

The platform will support all Airbus helicopter models, with particular focus on offshore and energy customers in the North West Shelf, ensuring critical components are readily available to sustain safe and seamless operations.
