Airbus Helicopters in India and South Asia head Sunny Guglani said the repeat order for the two ACH160s and the first-ever H175 by an Indian customer reflects the maturity which the civil helicopter market is gaining in the country. “Both helicopters are ideally suited to support passenger transport and offer superior performance and great comfort,” he said.

Designed with reliability in mind, the ACH160 represents a combination of power and elegance. The super medium H175 complements Airbus Helicoptersʼ civil portfolio with its versatility, range and payload capabilities.

Combined with the lowest vibration and sound signature in its class, and advanced Helionix safety systems, the H175 delivers exceptional comfort and safety for passenger transportation.
