Six of the twin-engined rotorcraft will be operated by China Southern Airlines General Aviation
Airbus H175 helicopter ordered by leasing group Skyco
Chinese leasing group Skyco is adding more Airbus H175 helicopters to its portfolio and will deliver these to China Southern Airlines General Aviation.

China’s Skyco International Leasing has placed an order for six Airbus H175 helicopters to be used for offshore industry support flights. The contract is a follow-up to the six-unit H175 order the company placed in early 2024 for emergency management and public service applications in Guangdong province.

The latest batch of H175s joining the Skyco portfolio will be leased and operated by helicopter group China Southern Airlines General Aviation (CSAGA) for energy industry contracts. CSAGA has been using U.S.-made Sikorsky S-92A rotorcraft for offshore operations, which is a sector increasingly being targeted by Europe-based Airbus with its super-medium twin H175.
