Airbus Helicopters has delivered the first VIP version of the H175 which entered service in 2014 for offshore transportation.

The VIP version of the H175 offers a cabin interior provided by Pegasus Design, who has built a worldwide reputation on business jets and super yachts.

“The first delivery of a new version of the H175 is an important milestone for our company and for the H175 program.”

“The first delivery of a new version of the H175 is an important milestone for our company and for the H175 program. The H175 enlarges its operational capacity to a completely new mission segment” said Guillaume Faury, president of Airbus Helicopters. “The VIP variant is also great news for the private and business aviation market as flying in a helicopter has never been so close to a private jet experience”.

Delivered to an undisclosed customer who will operate it in Europe as a complement to the yacht, the H175 offers a totally personalized VVIP cabin comfortably accommodating seven passengers.

The H175 is available in a VIP version, seating six to eight passengers, and an executive version, seating nine to twelve. Featuring more window area than walls, the rotorcraft ensures panoramic views for all passengers.
