Overview
- VNH, which signed the purchase Tuesday, confirmed an order for three H225 heavy-lift helicopters from Airbus.
- The aircraft will go to VNH South and VNH North to grow support for offshore energy work and start replacing older models.
- The H225 is an 11-ton class helicopter with long range, all-weather capability, and advanced autopilot suited to distant platform flights.
- VNH says the added payload and cabin space will let crews and equipment travel together, cutting trips for oil and gas operators.
- The deal builds on a long Airbus–VNH partnership and could spur new training and maintenance upgrades while boosting Vietnam’s maritime logistics role.
