Guangzhou Public Security Bureau in China receives its first H175
The new Airbus H175 helicopter will be used for public service missions and to support emergency management
Airbus Helicopters has delivered the first H175 helicopter to the aviation force of the Guangzhou Public Security Bureau (GZP). It will join GZP’s fleet, which already includes two H145 helicopters that were delivered in 2016 and 2019, and have accumulated a total of 3,200 flight hours.
“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 GZP. “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, Managing Director 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.”
In service since 2015, Airbus’ H175 belongs to the super-medium class of helicopters, combining long range and payload capacity with smooth flight qualities, making it the optimal solution for a wide range of onshore and offshore mission profiles, including disaster relief, search and rescue and other public services, as well as crew change and private and business aviation.
The Aviation Industry Corporation of China recently began batch production of its AG600 large amphibious aircraft for use by the Chinese government to strengthen its national emergency management system.
