Fukuoka City Places Order For AS365N3+

Delivery Expected In The Spring Of 2018

Airbus Helicopters Japan has signed a contract for one AS365N3+ with the Fukuoka City. The twin-engine Dauphin family aircraft will replace the currently operated AS365N2. The delivery is scheduled in spring 2018.

The Fukuoka City Fire Department currently operates a fleet of one AS365N2 and one AS365N3+ for firefighting missions. Fukuoka City first introduced the Dauphin family in 1990.

“We are extremely pleased that the AS365N3+ will be introduced by the Fukuoka City to play a key role in its firefighting and rescue missions,” said Stéphane Ginoux, President of Airbus Helicopters Japan. “The high-performance AS365N3+ will make a great contribution to Fukuoka City Fire Department’s operation. We are committed to providing full support services that fit our customers’ needs”

Currently, a total of 54 Dauphin helicopters (50 AS365s and 4 H155s) are operated in Japan. Seven AS365s are deployed by the Japanese police agencies and 23 AS365s are flown in firefighting and disaster relief missions.

The medium-sized twin-engine Dauphin incorporates advanced technologies for rapid flight speeds, low noise and vibration. Equipped with Airbus Helicopters’ signature Fenestron shrouded tail rotor, the rotorcraft’s spacious cabin comfortably accommodates up to 13 passengers and two pilots.
