Airbus H175 helicopter goes to Guangzhou Public Security Bureau
Airbus has delivered the first H175 helicopter to the Guangzhou Public Security Bureau’s (GZP) aviation force in China.
The new aircraft will be used for public service missions and emergency management, enhancing the bureau’s operational capabilities.
The H175 will join GZP’s existing fleet, which includes two H145 helicopters delivered in 2016 and 2019, with a combined total of 3,200 flight hours.
Introduced in 2015, the H175 is a super-medium class helicopter known for its long-range, high payload capacity, and smooth flight characteristics. It is suited for a variety of roles, including disaster relief, search and rescue, and public service missions, as well as offshore crew transport and private aviation. To date, 65 H175 helicopters have been delivered, amassing over 240,000 flight hours.
In China, Airbus helicopters play a key role in public service operations, with around 80 currently in use to support local communities across the country.
“The H175, with its outstanding performance and capabilities, will enhance our efficiency and provide us with an essential tool to fulfill our diverse mission portfolio,” said Zhang Rui, Vice Mayor of Guangzhou and Secretary of the Party Committee of Guangzhou Public Security Bureau.
“We look forward to continuing to work together with Airbus to jointly promote the development of the aviation industry in Guangzhou.”
“We are very proud of our long track record of successful cooperation with the GZP,” said Colin James, MD of Airbus Helicopters in China.
“We are pleased to equip the GZP with our H175 helicopter, which is an ideal platform for these critical public service missions, supporting them in keeping our communities safe.”
