Swiss Helicopter has signed an agreement to upgrade the avionics systems for their seven H120 helicopters. The company operates a 25 strong fleet which besides the H120s, includes 18 H125s from 15 bases in Switzerland and Lichtenstein and as such is one of the biggest aerial work operators in Europe.
The new avionics will modernise the aircraft, provide new safety and performance functionalities and equip it with a digitally connected system. This upgrade is one of the continuous improvement programmes offered in the HCare Classics package – a suite of flexible services dedicated to out-of-production aircraft, including H120, Dauphin and Puma aircraft. “Our fleet of H120 helicopters are highly appreciated in our spectrum of operations given their excellent low sound levels, comfort, high reliability and good performance,” says Rolf Heuberger, CEO from Swiss Helicopter. “Our pilots, flight instructors and technicians are already familiar with this avionics system, which is used on our H125 fleet, and we’re pleased that the H120 will benefit from the same level of safety and performance this system provides. We’re looking forward to operating the H120 for many years to come,” Heuberger added.
