Two Airbus H175 helicopters have officially entered service with PHI Aviation in Australia, supporting their offshore energy transportation, search and rescue and medical evacuation operations. PHI, which has pioneered many firsts over its 75-year history, operates bases in Broome, Darwin and Exmouth, Australia. The new H175 helicopters will be based out of Broome, with additional H175s expected to join the fleet in the coming months.

Cory Latiolais, PHI AviationChief Operating Officer, Asia Pacific commented: “These state-of-the-art aircraft are a significant addition to our growing fleet in Australia. They elevate our operational capabilities while reinforcing our commitment to sustainable innovation and delivering world-class service to our clients.” 

Christian Venzal, Managing Director of Airbus Helicopters in Australia and New Zealand stated: “We are pleased to support our long-term customer PHI Aviation with delivery of the H175 helicopters for their current Australian fleet. The high performance of the H175 aircraft in the challenging Western Australian environment is an excellent addition for the PHI Aviation fleet, especially with their focus on search and rescue operations, and marine transfers.”

The H175 helicopter offers superior performance, payload capacity, and range, making it ideal for long-range transport across Western Australia’s vast distances. Combined with the lowest vibration and sound signature in its class, and advanced Helionix safety systems, the H175 delivers exceptional comfort and safety for both passengers and the communities it serves.

These helicopters complement PHI’s existing multi-type fleet and can be reconfigured with hoists for search and rescue missions, or fitted with a medical interior for emergency evacuations from offshore oil rigs. PHI is providing safe and reliable helicopter transportation, with a strong focus on supporting energy providers, hospitals and air medical organisations, and governments worldwide.
