Italy’s Air Corporate has delivered a big finish at this year’s EBACE for Airbus Helicopters with the announcement of an order for 43 aircraft from the OEM.
The order is comprised of 40 H125s and 130s as well as three Lounge edition ACH160s, making it the largest commercial helicopter order in Italian history. In the past two years, the Verona-based air charter company has been on something of an Airbus shopping spree, placing orders for 28 helicopters, 17 of which have been delivered.
Making a statement about the announcement, the board of Air Corporate said: “We are experiencing a growing demand for the innovative ACH160 in the Italian market. The ACH160 is a beautiful, safe and comfortable helicopter, and the Line configuration with Lounge package configuration guarantees elegance and, at the same time, excellent performance.”
The Air Corporate board statement continued: “Equally, the H125 remains the helicopter of reference for aerial work missions in Italy due to its unrivalled performance. The H130 is also enjoying great success in our country for tourist flights and passenger transport.”
