- Indonesian Air Force orders four Airbus H145 helicopters
Bali, 18 September 2024 – The Indonesian Air Force has placed an order for four Airbus H145 helicopters as part of its training modernisation programme. The order was announced during the Bali International Airshow taking place this week.
Under the agreement between the Indonesian Air Force and PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PTDI), Airbus will deliver the five-bladed H145s to PTDI, who will manage the reassembly and completion of the mission equipment and other customisation work at its facility in Bandung, Indonesia, for final delivery to the air force. These multi-mission helicopters will be deployed for military training and light search-and-rescue missions.
“We are honoured by Indonesia’s selection of the country’s first Airbus H145 for its new training fleet. We are fully confident that the highly versatile H145 will make a positive impact in enhancing its military pilot training and at the same time be a critical enabler for its search-and-rescue operations. With a trusted partner in PTDI, we look forward to working together in support of Indonesia’s fleet,” said Vincent Dubrule, Head of Asia-Pacific, Airbus Helicopters.
“We are deeply honoured by the trust placed by the Indonesian Air Force through their order of the H145 helicopters as part of their training modernisation programme. This collaboration not only strengthens the long-standing partnership between PTDI and Airbus, but also showcases our commitment to providing innovative and reliable solutions for national operational needs. Through this close partnership, PTDI will not only support the delivery of the H145 helicopters but will also enhance our capabilities in terms of integration and assembly at our facilities. We are confident that this cooperation will create new opportunities for the development of the national aerospace industry and further sustain the long-term relationship between PTDI and Airbus, which we continue to strengthen for a more advanced future,” said Gita Amperiawan, President Director, PT Dirgantara Indonesia.
Airbus Helicopters and Indonesia have an enduring relationship of close to 50 years dating back to 1976 when PTDI first obtained a licence to produce the NBO-105 helicopter. PTDI became a key supplier of Airbus H225’s rear fuselage and main airframe in 2008, with full production in place in Indonesia by 2011. The two companies expanded the industrial cooperation in 2017, to include support and services dedicated for the Indonesian military fleet of helicopters, and most recently deepened the collaboration to explore the development of aerostructure production for the manufacturer's helicopter platform, helicopter completions, and enhancing local maintenance, repair and overhaul capabilities.
The latest version of Airbus’ best-selling H145 adds an innovative five-bladed rotor to the multi-mission H145, increasing the useful load of the helicopter by 150 kg. The simplicity of the new bearingless main rotor design eases maintenance operations, improves serviceability and reliability, and enhances flight comfort for both passengers and crew.
Worldwide there are more than 1,700 H145 family helicopters in service, with a total of more than 7.9 million flight hours. The Helionix digital avionics suite includes a high performance 4-axis autopilot, increasing safety and reducing pilot workload. Its particularly low acoustic footprint makes the H145 the quietest helicopter in its class, while its CO2 emissions are the lowest among its competitors. The H145 family is used to train military personnel by armed forces around the world, including the US Army, the UK Armed Forces and soon Germany.

- Indonesia to take first A400M in late 2025
By Greg Waldron19 September 2024
Airbus Defence & Space expects Indonesia’s first of two A400M tactical transports to be delivered by late 2025.
Indonesia’s versions will come with underwing pods for refuelling combat aircraft, according to Ed Horne, senior product advisor – air mobility – at Airbus.
The A400M on static at the Bali air show is configured for air-to-air refuelling
The country’s second example will follow in 2026, shortly after the first.
Horne made the remarks on 19 September at the Bali air show. He was conducting a media tour of a German air force A400M that is on display in the show’s static park.
Jakarta finalised its order for two A400Ms in late 2022. At the time of the order, the delivery timeframe given was from 2026.
The aircraft on static is equipped with underwing hose-and-drogue refuelling pods for delivering fuel to fighters, as well as a centreline hose installed in the turbprop’s ramp. This can deliver 50% greater fuel flow than the wing-mounted pods and is optimised for refuelling larger aircraft, such as other A400Ms.
The centreline refuelling station, however, precludes the use of the aircraft for cargo transport. The German aircraft’s interior features two large fuel tanks, as well as extensive piping mounted on the left side of the cargo hold.
Indonesia’s A400Ms will retain a clean cargo hold in order to perform transport duties.
Horne explains that the A400M’s refuelling pods for helicopters look identical to those for refuelling fighters, but contain a longer hose in order to remain clear of a helicopter’s rotor disc.
Air-to-air refuelling is a major shortfall for Indonesia’s air force. Cirium fleets data suggests that its only current dedicated tanker is a Lockheed Martin KC-130B that has been in service since 1961.
Given the vast area that Indonesia’s air force must protect, as well as its orders for 42 Dassault Aviation Rafale fighters, tanking capabilities are likely a priority for Jakarta.
Indonesia has also expressed interest in the A330 Multi-Role Tanker Transport, but a firm order has yet to materialise.
