Indonesia firm Derazona Helicopters has placed an order with Airbus Helicopters for a H160, launching the new rotorcraft in the country’s oil and gas sector.Indonesia
“This new order is a timely welcome as our company embarks on a transformation journey to grow our business. We are very impressed by the performance of the H160, and excited at the opportunities that this state-of-the-art helicopter will bring to our operations,” said Ramadi Widyardiono, Business Development Manager of Derazona Helicopters.The multi-mission H160 will play an important role in Derazona Helicopters' expansion plans for oil and gas, off-shore, utility and commercial passenger transportation.
“We are greatly honoured by Derazona’s vote of confidence, becoming not just the country’s first H160 operator, but our oil and gas launch customer in the Asia Pacific region,” said Vincent Dubrule, Head of Asia Pacific of Airbus Helicopters. “The H160 is a game-changer, setting new standards for safety, performance, comfort and design. We trust that it will be a valuable asset to our customer as they bolster their operations with this versatile workhorse,” he added.
Designed from the very beginning to comply with the demanding conditions of oil and gas operations, the H160's compact size will be an added advantage to landing on oil platforms.
The H160 is powered by Safran Helicopter Engines’ latest Arrano engines delivering a 15% reduction in fuel burn and reduced emissions.
The multi-mission H160 helicopter is capable of carrying out missions related to offshore transportation, private and business aviation, aeromedical services, search and rescue, as well as other public service missions.
