PHI Aviation has introduced a pair of Airbus H175 helicopters to its offshore energy support fleet in Australia. The recently delivered twins are based at Broome in Western Australia, with more H175s set to arrive from Europe in the next few months.

The operator expects to tap the H175’s range of up to 600 nm to connect energy company sites across large territories. The aircraft can carry up to 18 passengers, cruising at 155 knots and powered by a pair of Pratt & Whitney PT6C-67E turboshafts.
