Niagara Helicopters takes delivery of four Airbus H130s

Niagara Helicopters has taken delivery of four Airbus H130 helicopters that will support its aerial tourism operations. The fleet renewal plan was announced in 2024.

The new fleet of four H130s was celebrated by employees, guests, and community leaders at a ceremony at the Airbus Helicopters facility in Fort Erie, Ontario.

“For more than 60 years, Niagara Helicopters has showcased the beauty of Niagara Falls from above, and our priority is ensuring every passenger experiences it at its very best,” said Anna Pierce, vice president and general manager for Niagara Helicopters. “The H130 is the ideal aircraft for our operation – offering comfort, visibility, and performance that allows us to deliver truly memorable tours.”

Dwayne Charette, president of Airbus Helicopters in Canada said: “This moment represents the continuation of a trusted relationship built on partnership, proximity, and shared pride for Canadian aviation. We are honoured that these Airbus helicopters – which are completed right here in Fort Erie by our skilled team – continue to play a role in the Niagara story. We are proud to be a part of this ‘Made in Niagara’ success.”

The Airbus H130 delivered to Niagara Helicopters can seat up to seven passengers making the aircraft a favourite among operators worldwide for tourism, air ambulance, and surveillance missions, according to the manufacturer.

Meanwhile, late last month, Airbus Helicopters reported a solid performance in the first nine months of 2025 marked by significant growth in both revenue as well as profitability, delivery execution supported by its services-driven business mix.
