Airbus has delivered the first H160 helicopter in the U.S. to PHI, marking the beginning of H160 operations in the country. This 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 participate in a route-proving program designed to demonstrate its capabilities in demanding offshore environments. This initiative aims to ensure a smooth entry into service, familiarizing both operator and customer with the aircraft’s advanced technology and safety features.
“This is an exciting milestone for our teams and partners,” said Scott McCarty, CEO of PHI Group. “The H160 represents a new era for PHI, enhancing our commitment to safety, quality, and efficiency for our operations in the Gulf of Mexico. We are proud to officially welcome this next-generation aircraft into our fleet as we kick off route-proving. Congratulations to everyone who helped make this achievement possible.”
