Airbus To Deliver Cutting-Edge H160 Helicopter To India In Early 2025: Here's All About It

Airbus is now prepared to dispatch its most sophisticated and advanced helicopter, the H160, to India by early 2025, according to a report from The Economic Times.

The arrival of the H160 will signify a major watershed for both the Indian aviation market and Airbus, as the helicopter is renowned for its cutting-edge technology, safety features, and comfort.

Captain Nicolas Boltoukhine, senior operational marketing manager at Airbus stated, "We are delivering more and more helicopters. So, the market is ramping up. It (H160) is the safest in the markets and probably one of the best in categories to meet the weather conditions of India. We have been granted a certification in India this year and the first deliveries are going to occur at the very beginning of 2025."

"You've got a jet plane experience in that kind of H160 helicopter, because of the automatism, because of the comfort, because of the way it's built inside," Boltoukhine further explained.

The H160 helicopter is designed to accommodate one to two pilots and up to 12 passengers.

The H160's advanced features include a state-of-the-art radar system, a TKS de-icing system, and a comprehensive autopilot, all standard on the helicopter.

Its advanced autopilot system, robust safety features, and luxurious interior will make it a coveted choice for various sectors, including oil and gas, search and rescue, news gathering, and personal and business aviation.
