Additionally, THC has ordered a further four ACH160s with an option for four more, taking its total commitments to ten ACH160s, on top of the ten H125 and five H145 helicopters already delivered and a further 15 H145 helicopters to be delivered across 2023 and 2024.

CEO of THC, Capt Arnaud Martinez, said: ”THC are thrilled to receive our first ACH160 to immediately be deployed for corporate transport services with Red Sea Global on the west coast of Saudi Arabia.”

Airbus Helicopters CEO Bruno Even said: “I am delighted to see the success of THC in building the commercial helicopter sector in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and honoured by the expression of confidence represented by their new orders. And I congratulate Red Sea Global in putting into service in the Middle East the world’s most technologically advanced helicopter with its outstanding levels of comfort and safety.”
