New Delhi, Feb 11 (UNI) Airbus Helicopters on Tuesday said that Himalayan Heli Services has ordered two Airbus H125 helicopters to expand its fleet.
This latest order will expand Himalayan Heli’s fleet to eight H125 helicopters. The helicopters will be deployed for commercial air transport and aerial work missions in northern India.
“The H125 has proven to be a safe, very versatile and most suitable helicopter for high altitude passenger flying as well as airborne geophysical survey across varied terrains. A prompt technical support by Airbus gives us much required confidence while serving in remote regions,” said T. Wangchuk Shamshu, Managing Director, Himalayan Heli Services Limited.
Sunny Guglani, Head of Airbus Helicopters in India and South Asia said, “The H125 is known for its versatility and performance in high-altitude terrains. We are certain that these helicopters will be valuable assets that will enable Himalayan Heli to expand their growing network of services in the country.”
Airbus in a press release said that H125 is the world’s best-selling single-engine helicopter that outclasses other helicopters in its category.
“This high-performing versatile helicopter is a member of Airbus’ Ecureuil family, which has accumulated more than 40 million flight hours worldwide. It can operate in high-and-hot and extreme environments and can be easily reconfigured for various missions, including aerial work, firefighting, law enforcement, rescue, air ambulance, passenger transport, and many others,” it said.
