Airbus delivers South Korea’s first ACH160
The helicopter was purchased by Korean business aviation operator K-Aviation
Airbus recently delivered South Korea’s first ACH160 to business aviation operator K-Aviation.
The new helicopter will join its fleet of business aircraft for private aviation services in Korea.
The ACH160 is the premium version of the H160, which was certified by Korea’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport in April 2024.
Airbus Corporate Helicopters head Frederic Lemos said: “We thank K-Aviation’s vote of confidence in our latest offering as we herald a new chapter with the ACH160 in Korea. The next-generation ACH160 is known for its innovative design, performance and comfort superiority, setting new standards for corporate and private transportation. We look forward to more ACH160s flying in the country soon.”
A technological marvel
The H160 is one of the world’s most technologically advanced helicopters, designed and built to deliver the highest levels of operational safety while providing unmatched comfort for rotorcraft in its class.
That said, the helicopter is capable of performing wide-ranging missions including law enforcement, offshore transportation, search and rescue, private and business aviation, as well as emergency medical services.
Thanks to its manifold uses, the H160 has entered into service in Brazil, Canada, France, Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines, Saudi Arabia, UK, US, as well as other European nations.
