The United Kingdom has leased to Australia five Airbus H135 Juno helicopters to be used for pilot training.

The Australian Department of Defence (DoD) announced the arrangement on 7 February, saying the helicopters will arrive in-country later in 2024 alongside ongoing deliveries of 40 newly ordered Lockheed Martin UH-60M Black Hawks.

“To support essential training requirements for army aircrew, Australia will procure five H135 Juno training helicopters from the United Kingdom,” the DoD said. “Operations [are] expected to commence in Oakey, Queensland, by mid-year. The planned lease length is for five years.”

Australia already operates 15 H135s (acquired as EC135T2+), which are operated for the Australian Defence Force's Helicopter Aircrew Training System.
