Santiago, Chile-based operator Aviasur has received the first five-bladed H145 in the country.

“By investing in this new aircraft, we are opening a new chapter in our history. Our goals as a company have always been to be at the forefront of technology in the local aviation market, so the five-bladed H145 is the answer, perfect for our purpose,” says general manager Rodrigo Contreras. “We are also proud to continue our long-standing relationship with Airbus and to be the first operator to use this helicopter in Chile.”

This version of the successful H145 light twin-engine helicopter brings an innovative five-blade rotor to the multi-mission helicopter and offers new mission capabilities and flexibility, especially in operations with high altitude or high temperature conditions.

“We are very pleased that the H145 will enter service to support Aviasur’s operations. The new H145 will increase its service capacity thanks to its versatility and high performance. The helicopter adapts perfectly to the lifestyle of private and corporate clients thanks to its technology and comfort, and they will be able to go wherever they want,” says Airbus Chile general manager Jérôme Ronssin.
