Royal Thai Air Force Receives Four EC725s

Fleet Will Be Used In Multiple SAR Roles

The Royal Thai Air Force has taken delivery of four EC725s, with two additional aircraft expected to be delivered next year.

The aircraft will perform search and rescue and troop transport duties.

The order of four EC725s was signed in 2012, with the deliveries having just been completed. They are expected to begin operations later this month.

“With Thailand’s investment in the modernization of its aircraft inventory, the EC725s will become a formidable asset in the Royal Thai Air Force’s helicopter fleet,” said Fabrice Rochereau, Airbus Helicopters’ Vice President of Sales and Customer Relations in Asia Pacific.

The EC725 is an 11-ton twin-engine helicopter featuring high-performance navigation and mission systems – including a unique digital four-axis autopilot.

“We welcome the Royal Thai Air Force as a new Airbus Helicopters operator,” said Derek Sharples, the Managing Director of Airbus Helicopters Southeast Asia. “They can count on our full resources to support the successful deployment of the aircraft, and proximity services from our Thailand-based customer center.”
