Airbus Corporate Helicopters (Booth Z52) returns to EBACE in Geneva after a record year in which 114 helicopters were sold for a value of €752 million. The majority of sales were of the smaller ACH125, ACH130, ACH135, and ACH145, but the roster also included a pair of the larger ACH175, plus two ACH225s, the latter for head-of-state duties in Asia. Moreover, the figures also included 10 of the latest ACH160, which is the principal focus of the company’s participation at EBACE.

“This is the year of the ACH160,” said Airbus Corporate Helicopters head Frédéric Lemos, and two of these helicopters—plus a cabin mockup—are present this week at EBACE, including one for customer demonstration flights.
