MoDoG will operate an ACH160 and ACH175 as part of a wider helicopter acquisition by Ghana’s Ministry of Defence, which also includes two H175Ms for utility roles.

The two ACH aircraft will be used for high-level VIP transport, supporting official and executive movement across the country and wider region. The H175Ms are set to perform search and rescue, disaster relief and multi-role military missions, while MoDoG will focus on delivering safe, efficient and discreet corporate flights.

Arnaud Montalvo, head of Airbus Helicopters Africa and Middle East, says: “This key deal makes Ghana a leading customer in West Africa for our premium corporate helicopters, the ACH160 and ACH175.”

The ACH175 is based on the proven super medium H175 platform and offers long range, strong payload and smooth ride qualities. The newer ACH160 introduces 68 patented Airbus technologies, a larger cabin and 35 per cent more window area, making it one of the brightest and most advanced helicopters in its class.
