The contract from Ascent, a joint venture between Babcock International Group Plc. and Lockheed Martin Corp., is spread over 17 years, Airbus, Europe's largest aerospace company, said on Friday.
The unit will provide aircraft and support beginning April 2018, the company said.
"You're in the figure of a total fleet in the thirties," said Ian Morris, head of Airbus' UK helicopter defense business.
