Airtelis and Airbus Helicopters have signed a framework agreement for the purchase of five H145 helicopters, including the firm order of one.
The helicopters are foreseen to be operated and used by Airtelis’ subsidiary Oya Vendée Hélicoptères, which provides support for the offshore wind industry.
“The H145 has proven to be the perfect helicopter for our offshore wind operations during the construction of the new Yeu Noirmoutier offshore energy platform off the coast of Nantes,” says Laurent Giolitti, executive president of Airtelis. “We look forward to expanding those operations with the H145 and to provide support to the renewable energy market.”
The latest version of Airbus’ H145 adds an innovative five-bladed rotor, increasing the load of the helicopter by 150 kilos, says the company.
