Airbus Helicopters has officially opened its Western Australia Distribution Platform, marking a major step in strengthening its national logistics and support network.
The inauguration ceremony, hosted by Romain Trapp, Executive Vice President Customer Support and Services at Airbus Helicopters, was attended by Samantha Rowe MLC, Parliamentary Secretary to the Deputy Premier, and Tanya Richardson, Mayor for the City of Swan.
The new facility underscores Airbus’ long-term commitment to providing responsive, locally embedded support for operators across Western Australia. Designed to enhance efficiency and reliability, it will serve as a key logistics hub for all Airbus helicopter platforms, including large aircraft such as the H175.
Spanning 500 square metres with potential to expand to 1,500 square metres, the site enables Airbus to scale operations in line with customer demand. “This expansion reflects our enduring commitment to Australia, where we have proudly supported operators for over 40 years,” says Romain Trapp. “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.”
Located near Perth Airport, the facility provides easy access to customs clearance and delivery services, ensuring faster turnaround times for regional and remote operators. It will play a crucial role in supporting offshore and energy operations in the North West Shelf, helping maintain safe, uninterrupted helicopter services by ensuring essential parts are readily available.
As part of Airbus’ expanding Australian footprint, the new platform strengthens its ability to deliver timely, dependable service that keeps fleets mission-ready across the State.
