Airbus Demonstrates H175 Capabilities In Brazil

Focus Is On Oil And Gas Industries

Brazil’s oil and gas sector will get a look at Airbus Helicopters’ new H175 during a demonstration tour for the super-medium class rotorcraft.

The H175’s schedule this week will bring the helicopter to two of the main bases that support off-shore operations: Cabo Frio and Macaé, as well as a stop at Rio de Janeiro’s Jacarepaguá Airport on June 11-12.

Airbus Helicopters’ H175 was designed to meet the most demanding oil and gas industry airlift missions. It offers new levels of comfort with the largest cabin in its class, as well as low in-flight vibration and noise levels; while providing highly cost-effective service, with a maximum payload capacity of 16 passengers, low fuel consumption and the range to reach 90 percent of Brazil’s offshore installations.

Operational reliability is another strength of the H175, having already demonstrated its high availability in more than 800 flight hours performed by customers since deliveries began last December.

The H175 compliments Airbus Helicopters’ heavy-lift H225, of which 14 are deployed by three major operators in Brazil. As a tandem offered only by Airbus Helicopters, the H175 and H225 are able to support the country’s oil and gas sector development in terms of range and payload.

“Airbus Helicopters is committed to its continued support of Brazil’s oil and gas sector by offering the best products – backed by a full range of services,” said Christopher Grainger, Airbus Helicopters’ Vice President Oil and Gas. “Today, some 50 of our rotorcraft are flown by the country’s energy operators, having accumulated more than 350,000 flight hours.”
