PHI Aviation has officially introduced two Airbus H175 helicopters into service in Australia, supporting offshore energy transportation, search and rescue and medical evacuation operations.
With a 75-year history of pioneering achievements, PHI operates bases in Broome, Darwin and Exmouth. The new H175 helicopters will be based in Broome, with additional H175s set to join the fleet in the coming months.
“These state-of-the-art aircraft are a significant addition to our growing fleet in Australia. They elevate our operational capabilities while reinforcing our commitment to sustainable innovation and delivering world-class service to our clients,” said Cory Latiolais, Chief Operating Officer of PHI Aviation, Asia Pacific.
“We are pleased to support our long-term customer PHI Aviation with delivery of the H175 helicopters for their current Australian fleet. The high performance of the H175 aircraft in the challenging Western Australian environment is an excellent addition for the PHI Aviation fleet, especially with their focus on search and rescue operations, and marine transfers,” said Christian Venzal, Managing Director of Airbus Helicopters in Australia and New Zealand.
These helicopters complement PHI’s existing multi-type fleet and can be reconfigured with hoists for search and rescue missions or fitted with a medical interior for emergency evacuations from offshore oil rigs.
PHI is renowned for providing safe and reliable helicopter transportation services, focusing on supporting energy providers, hospitals, air medical organisations and governments worldwide.
