Nepalese rotary wing operator Prabhu Helicopter, licensed by the government of Nepal and operating under an AOC provided by the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN), has inducted its second factory-new Airbus Helicopter H125 (AS350B3) into its operational fleet. This addition, registered under the call sign 9N-ANT, reinforces the company’s commitment to providing safe, reliable and efficient helicopter services across Nepal’s challenging terrain.

Renowned for its performance at high altitudes, the French-manufactured Airbus H125 offers one plus five seating capacity and is recognised as one of the most versatile and robust platforms for mountainous operations. Its agility, payload capability and operational dependability make it ideal for a wide range of missions, including tourism, charter flights, emergency medical services and cargo transportation.

Following the successful receipt of its AOC from CAAN, 9N-ANT is now fully prepared to begin commercial operations. The second Airbus helicopter is a significant step in the company’s long-term strategy to modernise and optimise its services.

Prabhu Helicopter is proud to take its service capability to the next level with the addition of a second H125. This enhances our ability to provide high-altitude support services across Nepal with greater safety and efficiency,” a company representative says.
