This strategic move underscores GDHF’s confidence in the H175 platform and its commitment to supporting the evolving needs of its global customer base.
Michael York (CEO, GDHF) said “We are very pleased to firm up our ten H175 options, taking the GDHF total firm order book to twenty H175’s. This high conviction decision reflects our observation of strong sustained demand for modern, cost-efficient helicopters in the offshore energy sector and the H175 in particular. GDHF is proud to offer near term availability of the H175 to our customers. The H175 is ideally suited to meet the evolving needs of offshore operations, and the configuration enhancements GDHF have made will widen the mission capabilities of the GDHF H175 aircraft, for our customers and end users”
Regis Magnac (VP & Head of Energy, Leasing & Global Accounts - Airbus Helicopters) said “GDHF's decision to convert the H175 options into firm orders for an additional 10 aircraft is a powerful endorsement of the H175's robust asset valuation and its increasing prominence in the super medium category. Their commitment to enhancing the H175 for multirole capabilities, including offshore passenger transport with integrated lifesaving SAR functionality, demonstrates a deep understanding of the versatile operational requirements of their clients. This expanded commitment not only deepens our valued collaboration but also highlights the H175's vital role in delivering high-performance, competitive solutions to meet the needs of ever-growing global flyers of H175”.
