Airbus Helicopters has received certification from the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) for the H-175 helicopter.

This certification will allow H-175 deliveries to begin in China, one of the most demanding markets worldwide for civil helicopters with a growing need for the super-medium segment. Four units will be delivered to Chinese customers in 2023.

To sustain the helicopter market growth in China, Airbus Helicopters is committed to jointly work with the Chinese industry to develop the Chinese civil market with products such as the H-175, aiming to serve the interests of the Chinese people and the economy. In service since 2015, its H-175 belongs to the super-medium class of helicopters. Combining long-range with advanced quality of flight, it provides the best solution for a number of missions, including offshore crew change, SaR (Search and Rescue), all public services, and private and business aviation. The 53 aircraft currently in service have accumulated over 185,000 flight hours in 13 countries.
