Transport Canada clears H175 for Canadian operations

Airbus Helicopters has received approval from Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA) for the operation of the H175 helicopter in Canada, paving the way for the aircraft’s entry into the Canadian market.

The certification positions the H175 to support a broad spectrum of missions, including offshore energy operations, search and rescue (SAR), emergency medical services (EMS), private and business aviation, public services and defence. Its robust design and advanced onboard systems are well suited to Canada’s demanding operating environments, from offshore installations to remote northern regions.

As a multirole super-medium helicopter, the H175 delivers a strong combination of range, speed and payload capacity within its class. Equipped with Airbus Helicopters’ Helionix avionics suite, the aircraft enhances situational awareness, reduces pilot workload and improves overall safety, while offering a smooth and comfortable cabin experience for up to 18 passengers.

With more than 300,000 flight hours accumulated worldwide, and existing certification from EASA and the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC), the H175 has demonstrated reliability and performance across a wide range of missions. TCCA approval provides a solid regulatory foundation for its deployment across multiple segments in Canada.
