The PHI Group have signed a framework agreement that includes commitments for 20 H175s and 8 H160s to serve the energy market worldwide,
including in the US. These commitments are composed of firm orders as well as purchase options that PHI may exercise during the course of
the framework agreement.
“PHI strives to lead the industry in operating the safest and most reliable fleet of helicopters. This agreement is a component of our
broader strategy to bring new technology into an industry that has experienced a strong rebound after years of underinvestment. We
look forward to our continued partnership with Airbus as we prepare to enter these aircraft into service with our customers around the
world,” said Scott McCarty, CEO of PHI Group.
"We are proud of our ongoing partnership with PHI, a company recognized in the industry for its leadership in innovation and safety. We
thank them for renewing their confidence in the H160 and for adding the H175, for their long-range missions, to their growing fleet. At a
time when passenger safety, economic competitiveness, and energy efficiency are key to conquering any market, the H160 and the H175 are
reliable options for the years to come and we look forward to supporting their operations worldwide,” said Bruno Even, CEO of Airbus
Helicopters.
