Airbus Helicopters has achieved a significant milestone with the certification of its H175 helicopter by the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC). This certification paves the way for H175 deliveries to commence in China, a challenging market with a growing demand for civil helicopters, especially in the super-medium segment.

“The Chinese certification of the H175 is another great achievement in the continued successful partnership between Airbus Helicopters and the Chinese helicopter industry,” said Bruno Even, CEO, Airbus Helicopters. “The H175’s advanced state-of-the art performances and reliability will serve to provide the people of China with the ability to perform critical life-saving missions even in the most severe conditions,” he further added.
Since its introduction in 2015, the H175 has established an impressive track record, accumulating over 185,000 flight hours across 13 countries. The helicopter’s reliability and performance have made it a preferred choice for operators worldwide. Now, with the CAAC certification in place, the H175 is set to make a significant impact in the Chinese market.
