Omni Taxi Aereo Takes Delivery of First Airbus H175 in Brazil

Omni Taxi Aereo, one of Brazil’s leading oil and gas transport companies, has taken delivery of the first H175 in Brazil.

The helicopter will be used to perform cargo load and passenger transport missions for the country’s oil and gas industry.

“The H175 offers the right mix of comfort, performance and cost-effectiveness and I am very pleased with the introduction of this aircraft in Omni’s fleet,” said Roberto Coimbra, CEO of Omni Taxi Aereo. “With a range that enables Omni to reach 100 percent of Brazil’s offshore installations and high technology equipment on board it is a very promising aircraft to serve the Brazilian oil and gas market.”

Omni’s current fleet includes Airbus H135, H155 and H225 helicopters, which are largely dedicated to transporting passengers and cargo to offshore platforms and ships, while also providing emergency medical services for the oil and gas industry.

“Omni has been a true partner for over a decade and I am honoured by their renewed confidence in Airbus’ helicopters,” said Regis Magnac, Vice President Oil and Gas at Airbus Helicopters. “With currently 40 aircraft in service having accumulated more than 85,000 flight hours, the H175 has set new standards for offshore operations across the world and I thank Omni for introducing the aircraft to the important Brazilian oil and gas market.”

Equipped with Helionix, Airbus Helicopters’ integrated suite of advanced avionics and 4-axis autopilot, the H175 can comfortably transport 16 passengers up to 160NM. The aircraft also provides fully automatic oil platform approaches, thanks to the Rig’N Fly mode.
