Airbus delivers first H160 Helicopter in the U.S. to PHI Aviation

Airbus has delivered the first H160 helicopter in the United States to PHI Aviation (PHI), marking the beginning of H160 operations in the country. This delivery is the first of four initial H160 helicopters that PHI will operate for offshore transportation in the Gulf of Mexico.

Before commencing commercial operations, the helicopter will undergo a route-proving programme to demonstrate the H160's capabilities in the demanding offshore environment. This programme aims to ensure a smooth entry into service, allowing both the operator and final customer to become familiar with the aircraft's advanced technology and safety features.
