GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas (Feb. 24, 2017) ) – The Los Angeles Police Department will strengthen its Air Support Division this year with the addition of four new Airbus H125 AStars as part of a long-term plan to upgrade its entire patrol helicopter fleet.

LAPD Capt. Sean Parker said the H125 proved to be the most suitable replacement for the division’s fleet of AS350 B2s, an earlier model in the long-running and acclaimed Airbus single-engine helicopter family. “The H125 was the best fit for us for numerous reasons,” Parker said. “The pricing is competitive. The platform suits LAPD’s missions well, and we are satisfied with the reliability of the aircraft.”
