CHC Helicopter Signs HCare Contract for Airbus H175

CHC Helicopter has signed an HCare Smart full-by-the-hour (FBH) services contract to cover its first medium-twin H175 helicopter, based in Aberdeen, Scotland.

Under this nose to tail contract, Airbus Helicopters is entrusted with providing all spare parts and repairable items for CHC’s H175.

“As we introduce these new aircraft to our fleet, we needed to make sure we were offering both our operations and customers as much certainty as possible,” said Dave Balevic, Senior Vice President, Engineering and Operations at CHC Helicopter. “The HCare Smart plan allows us to make sure we have the parts we need on hand as we integrate the H175 into our global operation.”

CHC provides offshore transportation to the oil and gas industry, emergency medical services (EMS) and search and rescue (SAR) operations, training and maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services.

Thanks to this HCare contract, CHC will benefit from the support of the Airbus Helicopters Fleet Center in Aberdeen, which provides access to a dedicated local stock of parts 24/7 to ensure maximum reactivity.

“We are very proud of CHC’s confidence in our HCare FBH program to deliver high fleet availability,” said Matthieu Louvot, Executive Vice-President Support & Services at Airbus Helicopters. “It positions CHC for a very successful operation in Aberdeen backed by Airbus Helicopters’ total commitment.”
