Airbus on Thursday said it has signed an MoU with Pawan Hans Limited (PHL) in Paris for collaboration in introducing two new categories of its helicopters – H145 and H225 – in the latter’s fleet sometime in the future.
The Airbus also said according to the MoU, signed on Wednesday evening, it would provide “predictive and scheduled maintenance” for the repair, maintenance and overhaul of PHL’s existing fleet of AS365N Dauphin helicopters.
Government-owned PHL is the largest customer in the world for Airbus Dauphin helicopters. It currently has 37 Dauphin units deployed for offshore oil and gas operations, VIP transportation and other utility duties.
“The MoU stipulates that Airbus Helicopters will support PHL in growing its onshore, offshore and inland travel markets by introducing the best-in-class H145 and H225 rotorcrafts (helicopters) into their fleet,” Airbus said Thursday.
