Vietnam Helicopter Corp. (VNH), via its two subsidiaries VNH North and VNH South, has placed an order for three Airbus H225s to bolster the country’s offshore energy support missions. Alongside augmenting the existing fleet, these additions will also progressively replace aging Super Puma and H155 helicopters.
“As we look ahead, we see the H225 forming the backbone of our future fleet, allowing us to modernize our operations while expanding capacity and mission flexibility,” said VNH CEO Kieu Dang Hung.
VNH has operated the twin-engine, long-range EC225/H225 since 2008. “[The VNH’s] decision to center future operations around the H225 underscores the aircraft’s exceptional reliability and performance in demanding offshore environments,” said Airbus Helicopters CEO Matthieu Louvot.
Airbus markets the H225 as “the choice of commercial operators and governmental agencies for its long range and all-weather capabilities,” able to carry up to 19 passengers around 1,110 km (600 nm). Alongside <a href="https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/business-aviation/2024-02-27/airbus-helicopters-positioning-offshore-boom">offshore energy transport</a> provision, VNH will also use it for utility missions, search and rescue, and wider transport operations.
