This includes the joint development of support activities and services and an industrial cooperation system to lay the foundation for the development of general aviation by promoting reform to open up low-altitude airspace.
The partnership will also explore an effective business model tailored to the Chinese aviation market that will contribute to regional economic growth.
“This cooperation goes far beyond the purchase of helicopters,” said Bruno Even, CEO of Airbus Helicopters. “It is an unmistakable sign of Guangdong Province's willingness to lead the development of the helicopter market in the southern region of China. “We are proud that the Guangdong provincial government has chosen Airbus Helicopters to jointly carry out this ambitious cooperation project.”
In service since 2015, the 55 H175s currently in service have accumulated more than 210,000 flight hours, of which 184,000 have been in the energy sector.
