Airbus delivers the first H145 helicopter for the Philippine Coast Guard. The order was made in 2018 as support air unit of its new 84 metre Offshore Patrol Vessel (OPV) acquired from France, making it the first H145 parapublic operator in the Philippines. The new 4-tonne-class twin-engine helicopter is specially equipped with high frequency radios, emergency flotation gear, fast roping, cargo sling, search light, and electro-optical systems to perform critical missions including search and rescue, medical evacuation, maritime patrol and law enforcement. The latest contract will also encompass on-site technical support and continuing airworthiness management organisation services, fully supported by Airbus’ team in the country. |
