Bengaluru (Karnataka): Himalayan Heli Services Limited, an Indian helicopter company in the pilgrimage and aerial work sectors, has ordered two Airbus H125 helicopters to expand its fleet.
This latest order will expand Himalayan Heli’s fleet to eight H125 helicopters, making it the largest H125 multi-mission operator in the country. The helicopters will be deployed for commercial air transport and aerial work missions in northern India.
“Himalayan Heli Services is proud of using Airbus H125 helicopters for over 15 years. The H125 has proven to be a safe, very versatile, and most suitable helicopter for high-altitude passenger flying and airborne geophysical surveys across varied terrains,” Himalayan Heli managing director T. Wangchuk Shamshu said.
“A prompt technical support by Airbus gives us much required confidence while serving in remote regions,” Shamshu said.
“We are honoured that Himalayan Heli has once again chosen Airbus Helicopters H125 for their expanding services. This order underscores the trust that Himalayan Heli places in Airbus and highlights the expansion of our partnership,” Airbus Helicopters India and South Asia head Sunny Guglani said.
“The H125 is known for its versatility and performance in high-altitude terrains. We are certain that these helicopters will be valuable assets to enable Himalayan Heli to expand their growing network of services in the country,” he added.
The H125 is a single-engine, high-performing versatile helicopter. It is a member of the Airbus Ecureuil family, which has accumulated over 40 million flight hours worldwide.
It can operate in high-and-hot and extreme environments and be easily reconfigured for various missions, including aerial work, firefighting, law enforcement, rescue, air ambulance, passenger transport, and many others.
The H125 is the only helicopter to have landed at the top of Mount Everest, demonstrating its agility in operating in high-altitude, extreme environments.
