Niagara Helicopters has placed an order for six H130 helicopters as part of its full fleet renewal.
The aircraft will be used for tourism around Niagara Falls, Ontario, to support the tourism company as it welcomes more than 100,000 customers each year for its nine-minute and 27 km sightseeing tour over Niagara Falls.
“In order to continue to deliver a first-class visitor experience, we felt it was time to upgrade our aircraft,” said Denis Pilon, Chief Operating Officer, Niagara Helicopters. “After nearly 10 years of working with Airbus Helicopters, we are confident that the H130 continues to be the ideal aircraft for our operation. We are pleased to be working with the Airbus team again.”
“We’re honoured that Niagara Helicopters has once again put their trust in Airbus as they work to deliver exceptional experiences for visitors to the Niagara region,” said Dwayne Charette, President and COO of Airbus Helicopters Canada. “They are an esteemed partner, and we are delighted they have chosen Airbus as their exclusive helicopter provider since 2015.”
The Airbus H130 is an intermediate single-engine helicopter tailored for passenger transport, sightseeing and VIP duties, as well as medical airlift and surveillance missions.
