Airbus Helicopters and PHI Aviation have received a prestigious safety award from Shell that is in recognition of the innovative route-proving programme that meticulously prepared the H160 for its commercial debut in the US. What truly made this a success was the transparent and collaborative spirit between companies and people from Airbus Helicopters, operator PHI Aviation and end user Shell.

The H160 has been flying daily off the coast of Louisiana smoothly and reliably, a testament to outstanding teamwork. This achievement underscores the H160's maturity and its alignment with Shell's rigorous safety standards right from entry into service.
