Building on the success of the Airbus H140 in the emergency medical services segment, Airbus Corporate Helicopters (ACH) has secured launch customers for the ACH140, the VIP-configured version of the light twin helicopter launched at last year's Verticon show. The customers, from the three leading private and business aviation continental markets, comprise Indianan charter and air medical operator Sweet Helicopters, HTM Helicopter Travel Munich GmbH in Germany and Columbia Aviation Holding in Brazil. Delivery is expected in 2030, two years after the first H140 is to be delivered.

“The H140 represents an exciting step forward in performance, innovation and safety, and at Sweet Helicopters we are always looking to the future of vertical aviation,” says Chuck Surack, Sweet Helicopters. “The advanced design, efficiency and versatility make it an outstanding addition to our fleet and will help us continue building a reputation for delivering exceptional service. Being a launch ACH140 customer reflects our commitment to investing in the best equipment available and continuing to lead in the helicopter industry.”

“For HTM's operations, and for me as a pilot, the ACH140 brings together the benefits of additional space, versatility and pioneering technology in a compact footprint, while ensuring our customers benefit from the comfort, craftsmanship and style the ACH design provides,” adds Oliver Risken, owner HTM. “This is why, being the European launch customer for the ACH140 is a key milestone in our service offering.”

“Upgrading from the H135P3 to the H140 was a natural decision,” confirms Ricardo Lacerda, Columbia Aviation Holding in Brazil. “Airbus has consistently delivered exceptional reliability and world-class operator support, and the H135/H145 platform is one of the most proven in the industry. With the H140, Airbus builds on that foundation with meaningful improvements in performance, technology and comfort.”

Airbus Helicopters' ACH140 made its debut at Verticon 2026 in Atlanta, Georgia with a mock-up of its brand new cabin interior. The ACH Line collection showcases the brand new design philosophy defined by a dynamic and sophisticated aesthetic, establishing a singular style that will be gradually rolled out across the ACH range.

“The ACH140 represents the birth of an icon,” comments Frederic Lemos, head of Airbus Corporate Helicopters. “The launch of this aircraft and our new brand design language for ACH Line, maximises the core benefits of the aircraft, including the exceptional cabin space, panoramic view, modular seating configurations and ergonomic design features.”

With supplemental type, design development and factory integration led by Airbus Helicopters' customer centre in Italy, the ACH140 benefits from the contribution of first-class outfitters Borghino and F/List, raising the bar for discerning private and business customers in terms of style, craftsmanship, comfort and versatility.

F/List is proud to be a key partner in the creation of the ACH140, the latest aircraft in the Airbus Corporate Helicopters line, unveiled at Verticon 2026. This new helicopter, geared towards private and business aviation customers, showcases a fresh brand design language for the ACH Line.

While the aircraft itself is generating attention, one of the standout interior features comes from F/List, which has designed and produced a new bespoke cabinet for the ACH140 cabin.

The cabinet plays a central role in the aircraft's interior architecture, combining refined materials, ergonomic design and the craftsmanship that has made F/List a regular partner for premium aircraft interiors.
