Philippine Coast Guard Orders One Airbus H145
Helicopter
|
The Philippine Coast Guard has placed an order
for one Airbus H145 helicopter, making it the first H145
parapublic operator in Philippines.
The new 4-tonne-class twin-engine
helicopter is specially equipped with high frequency radios,
emergency flotation gear, fast roping, cargo sling, search light,
and electro-optical systems to perform critical missions including
search and rescue, medical evacuation, maritime patrol and law
enforcement.
The contract will also encompass on-site
technical support and continuing airworthiness management
organisation services, fully supported by Airbus’ team in the
country.
“We are honoured by the Philippine Coast Guard’s
decision to introduce the country’s first parapublic H145 into its
fleet, as the perfect complement to the current workhorse BO105
which has served the agency well for the past 40 years,” said
Philippe Monteux, Head of Southeast Asia and Pacific of Airbus
Helicopters. “We have full confidence in the H145’s ability to
support the agency’s work, coupled with our dedicated in-country
customer centre which stays committed to supporting its operations
in close proximity.”
There are currently four H145 helicopters
operating in Philipines, mainly for business aviation purposes.
