Airbus Delivers First ACH160 in North America

Canada’s Chartright Air Group has taken delivery of the first Airbus Helicopters ACH160 in North America. The H160 received Transport Canada certification in December. The ACH160 is the corporate version of the medium twin-engine helicopter.

With FBOs across Canada and a large charter aircraft fleet, Chartright now has two helicopters, including the ACH160 and a Leonardo A109SP. Both are based at the company’s Toronto facility. The ACH160 will begin operating charter flights in the third quarter.

“We are delighted to become the first private aviation company in Canada to operate the ACH160 for our owners and charter clients,” said Chartright Sales Director Graham Neerop. “With its advanced technology, performance and high passenger capacity, the ACH160 is set to transform perceptions of helicopter charter transportation in the Greater Toronto Area and across Canada.”

The ACH160 is equipped with the Airbus Helicopters Helionix avionics suite featuring a continuously active automatic flight control system, Blue Edge main rotor blades for quieter operation, and Safran Arrano engines.
